kalanamak Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Basic pizza-pie fractions he is adept at. I'm talking expanding, adding, multiplying them..... Bonus points for manipulatives (I can't think of any but coins) for %. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8filltheheart Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Well, I teach witha dry erase board and a marker in my hand for fractions. But cuisenaire rods work easily enough for percentages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tricia Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I shouldn't say this but we used candy bars. Hershey's are great for beginning since there are seems and they cut apart easily. We've used pizza too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
