Learning Resources Magnetic Fruit Fractions - 24 Pieces, Ages 6+ Educational Toys for Kids, Math Learning Games for Kids, Fractions Learning Games

Got these for my daughter to help with her fractions for 3rd grade. Visuals were perfect and they worked great on her whiteboard.

My grandkids love these.

Vivid colors

This is a set of magnets designed to teach fractions. There are 6 “fruit” circles, each of which is split into slices and labeled with fractions measuring 1 (no split), 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, and 1/8. The material is what you would expect of a cheap fridge magnet.My kids (5yo) have had great fun making “crazy fruit” by mixing halves, quarters, and eighths to make wholes. It’s opened up ideas in their heads about numbers (“mommy why is the 8 the smallest even though it’s the biggest number?”) and we figured out how you can’t add quarters and thirds to make a whole. The included activity book is very minimal and clearly aimed at classroom use, so parents are pretty much on your own to come up with ideas for games to play with these.You do need a large magnetic surface to use these effectively. A fridge would work well, but ours doesn’t take magnets. They do all fit on the dishwasher door. A large whiteboard may work as well.My one concern is durability. After only a few days, the edges are becoming slightly ragged where we have been grabbing them to peel them up off the dishwasher door. I worry that the image will start to tear off the magnetic backing if subject to too much use.

Love it

This is a great way to learn fractions for little kids! We also incorporate real foods into our fraction lessons but this is definitely a great start to learning Fractions! I would recommend this to any homeschoolers or parents who want to help their kids understand fractions better!

So bright and colorful! Has stayed magnetic and sticky for a long time with no problems, easy to move around and mix and match!

LOVE the idea of this. Makes learning fun...What I don't love is how thin these are. We have them for home use, one child (age 9) and they already look so worn out because they are so hard to peel off. I would prefer them thicker, even if that meant they were a smaller.

Muy buen materia!!

Very durable , students were able to manipulate the parts to understand fractions.

Great for teaching young kids.

Very easy to useViisualPieces can be added and removed to illustrate and reinforce learning….Much better, not boring than classroom

Fonctionne super bien! Les aimants collent bien ensemble
