Miquon Math

I *love* how Miquon introduces dividing fractions.

Math is one of Sparkle's weakest subjects. Yet she was able to figure out these problems in the Miquon Yellow Book:

(1/2) / (1/4)
(10/5) / (2/5)
(6/3) / (2/3)
(6/3) * (1/3)
(2+1/2) * 4

These problems are so carefully crafted, sequenced, and presented that even my math hating 8 year old could understand them.

I doubt that she could do them without the accompanying number lines, manipulatives and verbiage. She probably would even need me to keep her company. However I find it amazing that she was able to comprehend the concepts at all. The explanation in Miquon is beautiful in its simplicity.
