Online math for fractions, decimals, basic geometry -- 4th/5th grade

[Christy B]

Help!

Dd needs engaging instruction in fractions, decimals, and basic geometry. She needs something interesting, colorful, with feedback, etc. Free websites would be great but I'd be willing to pay for something that is really worthwhile. My attempts at "teaching" her these concepts are falling flat.

Suggestions?

This would be for fourth/fifth grade.

Since I haven't use a math curricula as of yet, I have pulled from many different places. I found fractions for 2nd & 3rd grades and 5th & 6th grades, but not in between.

Both of my girls have completed the deluxe edition of Time, Money & Fractions from School Zone.

My 4th grader just started School Zone Fractions for 5th & 6th Grades. It covers reciprocals, mixed numbers, reducing fraction, simplifying fractions, improper fractions, and equivalent fractions. The workbooks are very colorful.

I have also used baking with her to help in her understanding fractions. Example: doubling a recipe.

I haven't had any luck finding anything on Geometry or Decimals except for School Zones Math Basics Grade 5.

So, what do you usually use for mathematics curricula?

Oops. Sorry, Cristy I missed the online part of your post. Have you tried http://www.mathslice.com/ ? They have an online picture fraction game as well as addition, subraction, multiplication, and division of fractions.
