Magnetic Fraction Learning Set – Educational Maths Aid for Children

See, compare and understand fractions — maths in colour!

This colourful magnetic fraction learning set helps children explore maths by arranging and comparing the pieces themselves. Rectangular strips and circles divided into sections illustrate wholes, halves, thirds and quarters. This allows children to see relationships that can be difficult to understand from numbers alone.

The set comes in a folding book format with a blue cover featuring a cheerful giraffe. Inside are two boards: one for arranging fraction strips and the other for matching circle segments. The magnetic pieces stay in place on the boards, making it easier to complete exercises and display examples.

Colourful pieces that help children understand maths

Each fraction value has its own colour. This makes it easier to find the appropriate pieces, compare their sizes and discover how many parts are needed to make a whole.

The pieces and boards show common fractions alongside their corresponding percentages and decimal values, some of which are approximate. Children can explore different ways of expressing the same value and gradually learn how they relate to one another.

What can children practise with the set?

• recognising and naming fractions,
• dividing a whole into equal parts,
• comparing fraction values,
• building a whole from smaller pieces,
• exploring equivalent fractions, such as ½ = ²⁄₄,
• illustrating simple calculations, such as ¼ + ¼ = ½,
• matching common fractions with decimals and percentages.

Children can begin by matching pieces to the boards, then move on to comparing values and creating their own exercises. This allows the activities to be adapted to their abilities.

Activity board and marker

The set includes an additional activity board with spaces for writing numbers, comparison symbols and arithmetic operation signs. Children can practise writing fractions, create examples and record their answers using the included marker. It combines working with colourful pieces with learning to use mathematical symbols.

A learning aid for home and classroom activities

The set is suitable for learning with a parent, home education, primary school lessons and additional learning support sessions. It can complement Montessori activities in which children explore concepts by working with physical objects.

Younger children can start by matching shapes and colours, while older children can use the set to learn about fractions, percentages and simple calculations.

Set features:

• magnetic pieces that are easy to arrange on the boards,
• two ways of representing fractions: strips and circle segments,
• colours that help distinguish between values,
• opportunities to explore relationships between fractions independently,
• an additional board for writing exercises,
• a folding book format for convenient storage and carrying.

Learning and development

Arranging and comparing the pieces supports logical thinking, concentration and mathematical skills. Matching the pieces helps develop hand-eye coordination, while finding different ways to represent the same value encourages independent problem-solving.

The set makes an educational gift for children who are beginning to learn fractions or enjoy maths activities.

Values represented:

• One whole and the fractions: ½, ⅓, ¼, ⅕, ⅙, ⅛, ¹⁄₁₀ and ¹⁄₁₂.

Set includes:

• colourful magnetic rectangular pieces,
• colourful magnetic whole-circle and circle-segment pieces,
• an activity board for writing fractions and calculations,
• a marker.
