Poor Sarah has a sore nose from her cold. :(Ok, so I'm teaching common denominators. She knows how it works, but can't seem to understand why it works.
So I drew some pies on the board. 1/2 and 2/16.
I showed her the difference on the pies and then asked, "So would you rather have 1/2 of a pie, or 2/16 of a pie?
She sheepishly said, "2/16?"
I asked her "why 2/16?"
She said, "Because I don't really like pie!"
I guess she understands! :)

Good job on teaching Mom.

Hey Christie,
I see Erika has her own blog. I don't know how to respond though. Do you have to sign me up??
