Does your child truly understand fractions?
Addition and subtraction with like denominators? How about with unlike denominators?
If you have Legos or a Trivial Pursuit game at home, you can help your student better understand how to add and subtract fractions, find equivalent fractions and more.
As fraction skills are introduced in math class, students often have a challenge truly getting to the mastery phase of the learning process. We see this with children at all ages and all math abilities. Even students who are advanced in math still have challenges truly mastering fractions.
Often, families are intimidated by fractions and parents are unsure on how to help tutor their children on this math concept, and others for that matter. However, there are great non-math games and toys that can serve as manipulatives to help students understand their math. As in this case, Legos and Trivial Pursuit.
In addition to games, another great way to help children gain a better understanding of fractions is baking and cooking. In fact, there are many math skills used in cooking and baking. Following a recipe introduces math concepts, such as sequencing and counting. Young chefs will learn to measure precisely for baking and to estimate when a recipe says season “to taste.”
