Fraction Bricks - Visual Fraction Model Set

The Magnetic Fraction Bricks set includes 78 colour-coded, rectangular pieces designed to help children visualise and understand fractions. Each brick is a different length, allowing students to easily grasp key concepts such as fraction equivalence, comparisons, and the representation of fractions as parts of a whole. These magnetic bricks can be used on any magnetic surface, providing a flexible and engaging learning experience. The colour-coding aids in recognising different fractions, further engaging students in their learning. Perfect for children aged 5 to 8 years, this set makes understanding fractions interactive and hands-on.

Educational Benefits:

• Promotes a deep understanding of fractions as parts of a whole through hands-on manipulation.
• Helps students visualise fraction equivalence and comparisons, making abstract concepts more accessible.
• Encourages problem-solving and critical thinking as students work with fraction representations.
• Supports visual learning, fostering a better grasp of fraction relationships and value recognition.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use the bricks for fraction comparisons, encouraging students to order fractions from smallest to largest or identify equivalent fractions.
• Have students combine different fraction bricks to form a whole or other fractions, visualising how fractions fit together.
• Encourage students to match colour-coded bricks to find equivalent fractions, reinforcing the concept of fraction equivalence.
• Organise interactive group games where students solve fraction problems or build models on a magnetic whiteboard.

Information:

• Ages: Suitable for children aged 5 to 8 years.
• Measurements: 78 pieces, each varying in length to represent different fractions.
