I love how orderly and beautiful everything at your house always is. Seeing that table makes *me* want to learn fractions myself!
Also, your sons are the sweetest!

Your materials are always so beautiful! My children are forced to subsist on construction paper and homemade playdoh. :)
Our favorite fractions game right now comes from a book called "Family Math". It's really just color-coded cut up strips of construction paper, starting with a whole strip, and then individual pieces in quarters, halves, eighths and sixteenths. You roll a die to tell you what size strip to put on or take off (as the case may be), and you have to trade strips to get the right size. My dd8 loves it, and it's a terrific intro to equivalent fractions!
When I ever get around to posting on what we're doing in math (!), I'll try to remember to include it!

The learning materials at Alison's Montessori are lovely. I bookmarked several items I would love to have in the future. Thanks for pointing your readers toward such a wonderful resource.
I read a book a few days ago about fractions that you might enjoy reading with your younger childern entitled Full House: An Invitation to Fractions.
