This new site contains some cool ideas on fractions worksheets for preschoolers. As half is the most basic fraction, site contains a good idea to explain this to young kids.
When young kids learn to count numbers to tens or higher, they can be given a fun work to recognize fractions. The fractional concept starts at cutting or dividing one whole into two parts or pieces to represent the half, then it builds on further by introducing one third, quarter and other basic proper fractions to kids.
Fractions can also be represented using parts of group of things. But it is always a good idea to start fractions as the parts of wholes.
Once kids got the idea of basic fractions at home they can understand it at school very easily. This makes your kids smarter in math.
