 ABSTRACT
Providing a child-appropriate interface to an arithmetic package with large numbers and exact fractions is surprisingly challenging. We discuss solutions to problems ranging from how to present fractions such as 1/3 to how to deal with numbers with tens of thousands of digits. As with other objects in ToonTalk®, we strive to make the enhanced numbers work in a concrete and playful manner. REFERENCES
