Square vs Circle images
Hi, sorry these images are so big. I will get them resized a bit smaller here soon if someone doesn't replace them first. I just wanted to get this ball rolling down the incline plane. Feel free to modify them yourself; I think I did the licensing right to be as free as possible but I am not an expert on that. So, if not, I here personally grant my (the authors) permission to do what-ever one pleases with these two works of original art. Adding in some examples of common fractions ( 3/4 etc.) by blocking out some of the pieces would be great; not to mention a little more explanation to go with them.sutton 05:05, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Addition of Fractions
I filled in this section. I hope it is clear; could use some more examples,though.sutton 05:10, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

nominator denominated
Changed the word "nominator" to "numerator" all over this page.sutton 05:18, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

anti teacher sentiment
Does any one else have a problem with this (in the multiplying fractions section)? I feel that this is demotivating for students who could otherwise be encouraged to pursue math seriously. .karrollea

Dollars?
I think the money approach is a bad idea... rather talk about cents intead of dollars or just talk about fruits or just something else...I'm saying this because 70% of kids in Africa don't know what a dollar is. --Sibande (talk) 09:59, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Target audience
This book really needs a clear decision on what its target audience is - pre-school children? primary school kids? adults being alphabetized in Maths? teachers (as a meta-book)? For instance, have a look at the "Multiplying fractions with nice pictures" section: the conflicting tones make it confusing for anyone who reads it, regardless of age (furthermore I don't know what kids call chocolate bar blocks in English, but "stories" is horribly misleading. And I still can't figure out what Mr. Anaconda is supposed to be...)--Duplode (talk) 02:37, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
