The Rational Number

If you can explain what a Rational Number is to your K6 Student, so they can fully understand what it is, you will be arming them with success in many different areas of elementary mathematics.

Rational Number is the mathematical term for fractions. You have to make sure that your child is familiar with this term and that it is represented by the symbol Q.

It doesn't seem so rational that these numbers, also know as fractions would be represented by Q - but it is!  The Q stands for Quotients, which stems directly from ratios, which are another form of fraction representation.
