Fractions Activity Set in a child's hands
The third of the three exercise card sets for the cut out labelled fraction circles, with divider tabs in a wooden box. By this point a fraction has to stop being a piece of a circle and start being a number: something that can be added to another, subtracted, and written in a line without a picture underneath. The circles are still there to fall back on, which is the reason the change is survivable, and the third set is where a child stops needing them. Fraction circles sold separately. Cardstock and wood, for ages 3 to 12.
Mathematical Abstraction
Bridges concrete understanding to abstract fraction concepts through visual representation and systematic exploration.
Sequential Thinking
Numbered organization supports logical progression through increasingly complex fraction relationships.
Visual Discrimination
Clear card layouts develop ability to recognize and compare mathematical symbols and numerical relationships.
How to present it
Place the wooden box on a mat. Remove cards slowly, examining the corner joints with the child. Arrange fraction cards in order from simplest (halves) to more complex.
- 1Begin with whole and half cards. Show how two halves make one whole
- 2Introduce thirds using the visual cards, comparing size to halves
- 3Add quarters, arranging all fraction cards from largest to smallest parts
- 4Match equation cards to their visual representations
- 5Create fraction families by grouping equivalent fractions
3 tips for parents
- Practice fractions during cooking: 'We need one-half cup of flour'
- Point out fractions in daily life: pizza slices, orange segments
- Store the wooden box at child height for independent access
