Fraction Toys, Aids, Activities



Aside from "word problems," nothing mathematical perplexes and dismays students more than fractions.

Most of this unfortunate and unnecessary dread stems from a lack of "fraction sense," an insufficient familiarity with fractions, what they are, and how they work.

There are numerous ways to help students acquire fraction sense. Following are several of my favorites:

Everything's Coming Up Fractions with Cuisenaire Rods

Rainbow Fraction Squares

Rectangular Fraction Decimal Tiles

Rainbow Fraction Circles

Rainbow Fraction Circles (Marked)

Decimal Squares

Decimal War Playing Cards

Fraction Bars

Fraction Bars Playing Cards

Fraction Towers

Fraction Tower Card Game

Fraction Flash Cards

Fraction and Decimal Dominoes Game

Math Stacks Fraction Equivalence Game
