What you say Eddie is so true. I didn’t understand dividing, multiplying fractions until I was in my math for teachers class in graduate school and all of a sudden a light went off in my head when I was doing the exercises with manipulatives.
Many people concentrate on games and math toys when the kids are young and don’t realize that they must continue with these up through later years as well.

I love these! Grace loves math, but she hates math facts, so I take every opportunity to practice them without actually practicing them. You know what I mean. I can’t wait to try some of these. 🙂

The thing that always made math difficult for me as a kid was that it wasn’t tied to anything – so you knew THAT you had to reduce the fractions, for example, but not WHY. You’ve managed to tie each topic to a reason and I think that alone should reduce a lot of math struggle.
