		<description><![CDATA[(I&#8217;m writing a bit long article today on introducing fraction to a young child.  For best result, this should be done at home when you have more time and space.  Good luck!) Fractions are an important building block in Algebra, introducing it properly can help your child to progress along in mathematics smoothly. One way [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;What does Fraction really mean?&#8221; Alexa asked today while I was dropping her off to her school.Thus far, I&#8217;ve covered 2-digits multiplications (26 x 32 on paper), divisions (321 divided by 3 mentally; and 4225 divided by 65 on paper) with her and she was ready to move on. &#8220;What do you think it&#8217;s about?&#8221;  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today during the drop off, Byron announced that he is tired to adding with 9’s. I promptly asked him ‘oh, yeah, what’s the trick with adding 9’s?” “Borrow 1, make ten and add ‘teen’.’ (Not bad for a 4-yr old, I thought). “Cool! Do you want to know what to do with adding 8?” “ [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the drop off today, I challenged Alexa to do a 3-digit number divided by a 1-digit. “But I need paper for THAT”, she declared as all of my students do when they are first challenged for such task. “Let’s try without one.  You’d be surprised how big of mental paper you have in your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ While dropping off my children today, Alexa asked what a reminder is when it comes to division. “  All remainder says is how much is left”. “That’s it?” “Yep.”  (when answering her questions about math, I pay particular attention to keep the answers as short as possible.  I pretend that I too am an 8-year [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During today’s drop off, I tested Byron and saw that he could add 9’s and 8’s pretty well (by taking 1 and 2 away and add ‘teen’ to what’s left over).  I then asked Bryon if he was ready to add 7’s. “Sure!” “Well, all adding 7 is about is take 3 away to your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once Byron, the 4-yr old got the hang of 5 different combinations to add to 10, and that 10 plus any number less than 10 is just that number with ‘teen’ behind it (well, almost anyway, for 1 + 10 is 11, not quite 1-teen; nor is 12 a 2-teen.  But you got the idea), [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ After Byron got the hang of summing to 6 with different combinations by finger counting, I moved on with him to the 5 combination of summing to 10. The idea behind becoming familiar with making 10 is that it forms a foundation for speed addition later on. (See the article on Addition: Why Your Youngster&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
