Junior Learning Fraction Segments

Build a deep, visual understanding of fractions with the Junior Learning Fraction Segments — a set of magnetic fraction pieces that uses the familiar image of a circle divided into segments to make fraction concepts immediately intuitive and concrete. Each fraction segment is a different size and colour-coded to show how different fractions relate to one another and combine to make a whole, giving children a powerful visual model for understanding equivalence, comparison, and parts of a whole.

Fraction Segments can be used on any magnetic surface, making them easy to incorporate into whole-class teaching, small group work, or independent exploration. A brilliant hands-on complement to any fractions unit.

Skills Covered:

• Fractions — parts of a whole
• Equivalent fractions — visual comparison
• Fraction comparison — greater than, less than
• Combining fractions to make a whole

Features:

• Colour-coded fraction segments
• Circle format — intuitive visual model
• Magnetic — works on any magnetic surface
