When we decided that homeschooling was the way we were going to go in 2008, I bought allot of manipulatives, one of these was the Fractions Manipulatives case (I can’t find it on the suppliers website). Because Noo is a tactile and practical child, teaching fractions became a struggle, that is until I remembered that I had bought these 3 years ago. These have made a huge difference in our fraction lessons.
Here is a pic of Noo using the fractions during a lesson.
