Experiment with fractions your child can see
Some children find fractions more intimidating than whole numbers. Hands-on activities can help your child see and understand the concepts. Try this one: Give him some measuring cups and two identical glasses. Have him pour one cup of water into the first glass. Then have him guess: How many half-cups will it take to fill the other glass to the same level? How many quarter cups? One-third cups? Let him experiment to find out.
