[quote=Anonymous]Those linked toys seem awfully babyish for a 9 year old. Even a 5 year old can easily pick up the concept of what a fraction is and represents with an oral explanation and a few drawings. Even little kids understand "1/4 of a pizza." I think OP's kid must be having trouble with more complicated things like comparing them or doing arithmetic. Those toys are not going to help him solve a problem like comparing 6/31 and 4/21, or calculating 4 and 4/7 plus 5 and 5/7. For that you need one on one instruction. Better than a toy would be getting a 1 meter square whiteboard for the kitchen where you can do math problems step by step.[/quote]
