ya and this is his Homework! OMG! i had a hardtime explaining... my DS seems loss.

How to explain?! Any suggestions? :?:
Use cloth-pegs or tea-spoons etc to explain the concept? Kids see and understand things easier than merely numbers.

For eg: put 2 paper clips on a cloth-peg. If you have 2 such pegs, you will have 4 paper clips ie 4 potatos?

Itโ€™s ok if they donโ€™t immediately at first. Must show them different examples based on thesame concept, after a few daysof repeated exosure theirbrainwill get it after digesting on the similar examples.

This is the Practice of using examples to teach concept (via inductive reasoning for the child).
Hopethis helps.

Then 2 potatos = 4 carrots. 1 potato is about the weight of 2 carrots.
