Fractions

A wooden board with 4 inset circles: one whole, one in 2 halves, one in 3 thirds and one in 4 quarters.

A set of labelled plastic circles divided into segments to show fractions from 1 whole to 10 tenths in a divided wooden box.

The concept of fractions can be difficult for children to grasp in the abstract, the fraction circles give a concrete experience of how 1 whole circle can be divided into equal parts. They also demonstrate equivalency and conversions.

Part of our MINI range, ideal where space is limited.

>A set of four mini wooden skittles.

The concept of fractions can be difficult for children to grasp in the abstract, the fraction skittles give a concrete three dimensional experience of how 1 whole skittle can be divided into halves, thirds and quarters. They also demonstrate that 2 quarters are equivalent to 1 half. The fractions can also be weighed on a balance scale to give another concrete experience of the differences in their size.

A set of four wooden skittles on an inset wooden stand.

The concept of fractions can be difficult for children to grasp in the abstract, the fraction skittles give a concrete three dimensional experience of how 1 whole skittle can be divided into halves, thirds and quarters. They also demonstrate that 2 quarters are equivalent to 1 half. The fractions can also be weighed on a balance scale to give another concrete experience of the differences in their size.

The fraction skittles are colour coded to give the child a control of error.

The skittles measure approx 12cm high
