Found Divide A Fraction

The two-compartment box with blue lid containing plastic chips, 1 set with equations and one set with the answers.

Leveled puzzle cards teach parts of a whole, equivalencies, common denominators, and multiples.

Each Fraction Pie Puzzle is a puzzle and a conceptual fraction lesson, all rolled into a fun activity.

Select a card, place the starting pieces, and then complete the circles with the remaining fraction pie pieces. Will one-third solve the puzzle? What about 2 one-sixths?

This kinesthetic way to reinforce basic fraction concepts teaches children how fractional parts make up a whole and about equivalencies, common denominators and multiples.

Leveled from easy to difficult and self-correcting, the puzzles are perfect as a small group or center activity. It's an entertaining way for children to challenge their brain and understand fractions.

Includes:

The Decimal Fraction Material is used for the introduction of decimal number formation and for performing the operations of addition, subtraction and multiplication with decimal and whole numbers.

Printed nomenclature cards (14) with labels (14) for the Large Fraction Skittles.

Large clear plastic box is included.

The hinged lid makes it easy for children to access the materials in this box.

Box size: 6” x 4” x 2”deep.

The red whole and cut-out labeled circles are stored in a wooden box with 10 compartments.

Four wooden skittles, one undivided, the others divided into two, three, and four parts; painted red, orange, and green.

Ten metal circles, one undivided, the others divided into two to ten equal parts.

All insets are painted red and fitting into green frames.

The Equivalent Figure Material is an important component of the Montessori educational approach, designed to introduce children to the concept of equivalence that leads to the discovery of area and theorems.

By manipulating the pieces and observing their relationships, children can discover that shapes with different sizes can still be considered equivalent. This understanding lays the foundation for later mathematical concepts such as fractions, ratios, and proportions.

The Equivalent Figure Material consists of 13 green metal frames with bottoms and red insets.
