Teachables Magnetic Fraction Builders - Visual Fractions Resource

Make fractions visual and interactive with this durable set of Magnetic Fraction Builders-an essential resource for exploring part-whole relationships in both rectangular and circular formats. Designed with the classroom in mind, these lightweight yet sturdy fraction pieces are printed on wipe-clean material, making them ideal for repeated use during group demonstrations or individual student tasks. The set includes both rectangular and circular fraction shapes, helping students make connections between different fraction models and reinforcing concepts through visual comparison. With a generous total of 106 pieces, educators can demonstrate key concepts such as equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, and operations involving fractions. The large size of the pieces-20 x 3 cm for the rectangle whole and 13.5 cm diameter for the circle whole-makes them clearly visible during front-of-class teaching or small group activities on magnetic whiteboards. Whether used to introduce basic fractions or to extend into decimals and percentages, these Magnetic Fraction Builders are a versatile, hands-on tool for building fraction fluency at multiple year levels.
