Fraction circles in wooden box, 272 pieces

Fraction circles are for showing and comparing fractions. The proportionality of the individual ""pieces of pie"" can be seen at a glance with fraction circles and playfully encourage the use of fractional arithmetic. Division begins with a whole down to ten tenths The number of fractions increases.

Fraction circles like item no. 94493, but made of plastic.Without a stand, to be laid out freely. With the plastic tiles: 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9, 1/10. Box made of hardwood.

Learning opportunities
Showing fractions, sensory experiences

Range of uses
Nursery and primary school

Method - didactic information
The circles are divided from wholes into ten tenths. They are compared with the divided triangles and the divided squares.
Naming lessons are given. The fractions are labelled.

Various decorative experiences are possible with circles, triangles and squares.

Fractions are taken from the circle, e.g. 1/2 and the child is prompted to fill the free space with smaller equal parts. The child tries one third. It doesn't fit. Then they take a quarter, two quarters fit perfectly in the free space. After lots of sensory experience, the problems can be written down 1/2 = 2/4. The equal value of fractions has been learned.
