Teachables Large Magnetic Fraction & Percentage Circles - Classroom Set

The Large Magnetic Fraction & Percentage Circles are an excellent hands-on resource for teaching fractions, percentages, and equivalence. These double-sided magnetic circles provide an interactive way to explore mathematical concepts on the whiteboard. Each circle is clearly labelled with fractions on one side and corresponding percentages on the reverse, making them a versatile tool for demonstrating relationships between fractions and percentages. The set includes 9 circles representing key fractions (whole, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, and 1/12), all with a diameter of 19cm. The total set contains 51 pieces, ensuring ample options for various fraction and percentage activities. These magnetic circles are ideal for reinforcing equivalence and visualising complex concepts in an engaging, tactile manner.

Educational Benefits:

• Helps students visualise the relationship between fractions and percentages.
• Supports understanding of equivalence, allowing learners to easily compare different representations.
• Promotes active learning through hands-on interaction with large, durable magnetic pieces.
• Encourages discussion and collaborative learning in classroom or group activities.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use the magnetic circles to demonstrate the conversion between fractions and percentages.
• Have students arrange the circles on the whiteboard to create and solve fraction and percentage problems.
• Incorporate the circles into games where students match fractions with their percentage equivalents.
• Challenge students to order the circles by size and discuss how different fractions relate to each other visually.

Information:

• Ages: Suitable for students in Year 4 and up
• Measurements: 19cm diameter per circle
