Fraction cubes are a great way to visibly demonstrate in a literal hands-on way how equivalence works and how different fractions combine to create the same whole number. The cubes are marked with 8 different fractions and interlock for children to explore equivalence for themselves by experimenting with different values.

Reasons to Love:

•The perfect resource for reinforcing fractions knowledge at home as well as in the classroom.

•Help children visualise fractions by building simple mathematical models, which are an excellent means of showing equivalence.

•Cubes are marked with respective fractions, allowing for ordering, comparison and sorting of fractions, particularly of different denominators – a key year 5 objective.

•Excellent way of comparing unit fractions so children can visually see the size of each fraction as part of a whole.
