Stacking Fraction Cups - Visual Fractions, Set of 9

Product Description:
This beautifully designed wooden toy is a practical introduction to fractions for young learners. As children explore how each segment fits together to form a whole, they begin to grasp abstract mathematical concepts through tactile engagement. The stacking feature encourages children to compare sizes and portions visually, reinforcing early numeracy through active learning. Children naturally develop reasoning skills as they decide which pieces belong together and how they interact. This hands-on activity not only builds math knowledge but also supports physical development through precise hand movements. The versatility of this toy allows educators to adapt it across different developmental stages and classroom themes, making it an ideal resource for early years maths learning.

Educational Benefits:

• Encourages early mathematical thinking and understanding of part-whole relationships.
• Promotes fine motor control through manipulation and stacking.
• Builds problem-solving skills and spatial awareness.
• Supports visual learning with tangible fraction models.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use as a maths centre activity for fraction exploration.
• Create a story-based game where children "cook" using fractions.
• Integrate into patterning activities by stacking in colour or size sequences.
• Use pieces for open-ended construction and imaginative play.
