when my dd was in K2 she did her music written exam so I had to explain some fraction concepts to do the time values...

I think the biggest challenge in Fractions is in the word problems. There are so many permutations of these.

I use to teach my DS fraction concept using playdoh. Pretty fun way to learn. I let him cut into equal pieces. If three equal pieces, it will be 1 third each. two equal pieces, half each, and so forth. I also try to link that with division.


But to teach more complex fraction operations it will be more challenging to make it fun.
