Fraction Learning Puzzle

The Fraction Learning Puzzle is a vibrant and hands-on resource designed to introduce young learners to basic fraction concepts through colour association and shape segmentation. Each circular piece on the puzzle board is divided into equal parts, ranging from one whole to six fractional segments, allowing children to explore the relationship between parts and wholes in a visual and tactile way.:

The brightly coloured pieces assist with cognitive association as children match by colour and number of segments, reinforcing early mathematical thinking. This puzzle is ideal for children aged 1 year and over, offering a safe and accessible entry point to numeracy. Its wooden construction is durable and smooth, making it suitable for both classroom and home environments. The puzzle promotes interactive learning and helps build a solid foundation for future understanding of fractions, proportions, and equivalency.
