Let's Play!

For Kids

Drivers, start your engines!!!  This is a great racecar game that you can use to practice your factions.  You can even take as many tries as you need to answer each question.  Then, when you get enough of them right, the car takes off and races to the finish.
So if you just need a little extra practice, check out this site:

For Parents

Not only is this site fun for your kids to practice fractions, but it also relates to what we are learning in class.  The Ontario Math Curriculum requires that students are able to:
     "represent fractions using concrete materials, words, and standard fractional notation, and
     explain the meaning of the denominator as the number of the fractional parts of a whole or a set,
     and the numerator as the number of fractional parts being considered"
If your child needs some more practice in this area, this is somewhere for them to start.  Once they
are able to understand the basics of recognizing and representing fractions, they can continue on to more complex problems.
