8. What you can do… Play math games with your child. Use everyday objects to allow your child to explore the concept of fractions. Ask your child about the relationship between fractions and decimals Encourage your child to “stick with it” when problems seem difficult. Praise your child when he/she shows effort to solve a problem or understand a concept for the first time.
