[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 548935, member: 11791"] Lisa, Lisa... I'm having serious flashbacks. In reverse. difficult child absolutely insisted he could not possibly do fractions. We didn't eat pizza and pie, and he couldn't relate to the examples they were using. No clue at ALL. Until one year the teacher in desperation brought up the issue... and all I did was turn to difficult child and start listing off construction measurments. What's three and three eights plus 4 and a sixteenth? And he knew the answer, but insisted those weren't fractions, they were measurements! Took a bit to broaden his scope, to teach him to generalize, because he was only used to the power-of-two fractions - half, quarter, eighth and so on - the ones you find on... a construction tape measure. After that, he caught on to decimals too, based on it being "money"... but only to two decimal places, because you can't have half a cent... [/QUOTE]
