With the "Fraction Calculation Cones," children can visually and tangibly learn the basics of fractions. This wooden teaching tool is perfect for introducing young students to the fundamental concepts of fractions. The different cones, easily divided into parts of 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4, help children understand fractions by organizing and comparing the various segments. The brightly colored insides assist in self-correction, allowing children to verify their divisions easily.
This educational tool lays the groundwork for future fraction calculations. By grasping the size of the cone segments, children gain insight into part-to-whole relationships and proportions. The entire cone is first presented as 1/1, then split into halves to explain that this is one-half. Similarly, the other cones can be divided into thirds and quarters, giving children a step-by-step introduction to recognizing and understanding fractions.
Additionally, this material can be paired with the separately available "Fraction Calculation Circles," providing a visual representation of dividing fractions. A "Fraction Cone Stand" is also available for easy storage, though it is not included with this set.
The cones are made from durable, solid beech wood and measure approximately 15 cm in height and 6 cm in diameter, ensuring a sturdy and comfortable grip. With this set of four cones, children learn the basics of fractions in a playful manner, preparing them for more advanced calculations in the future.
