Basic Fraction Circle - 10 cm - 228 pc

Make fractions tangible and engaging with the Basic Fraction Circle - 10 cm - 228 Piece Set. This hands-on resource offers a vibrant and interactive way to explore one of mathematics' most complex early concepts. With 228 segmented pieces, students can explore fractions including 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, and 1/10. Each piece is colour-coded and designed to clearly illustrate part-whole relationships, helping students grasp equivalence, comparison, and fraction operations. The set comes in a stackable, easy-to-store container, making classroom organisation simple and efficient. These circles cater to visual and kinaesthetic learners, allowing them to physically manipulate pieces to explore concepts such as fraction addition, subtraction, and equivalence. Whether used in small group activities, whole-class demonstrations, or independent practice, these fraction circles transform abstract concepts into concrete understanding. Durable, versatile, and curriculum-aligned, they support differentiated instruction and are ideal for primary and lower secondary settings.

Educational Benefits:

• Provides a tactile learning experience that helps students visualise part-whole relationships and fractional values.
• Reinforces key maths concepts including equivalence, comparison, and operations with fractions.
• Encourages critical thinking and problem-solving through hands-on manipulation and exploration.
• Supports diverse learning styles, particularly visual and kinaesthetic learners, with colour-coded, easy-to-handle pieces.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use in small groups to practise fraction addition and subtraction by combining various segments to form wholes.
• Challenge students to find multiple ways to create equivalent fractions using different segment combinations.
• Incorporate into a maths display or whiteboard demonstration to illustrate visual fraction models in real time.
• Facilitate group tasks where students solve fraction puzzles or build fraction diagrams collaboratively.
