Teachables Fraction Colour Board

Bring fractions to life with this vibrant Fraction Colour Board! Designed to help students visualise and explore fractional relationships, this interactive set makes learning about equivalence, comparison, and operations both intuitive and enjoyable. With brightly coloured, hands-on pieces and a clever layout, students can see how fractions relate to one another and discover patterns with ease-perfect for strengthening their confidence in maths.

Educational Benefits:

• Visualises Fraction Equivalence: Students can physically line up and compare different fractions, helping them understand how values relate and how equivalents work.
• Supports Fraction Operations: Ideal for exploring addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions in a tactile, accessible format.
• Reinforces Mathematical Reasoning: Encourages students to discover patterns, test hypotheses, and deepen conceptual understanding through trial and error.
• Engages Multiple Learning Styles: Combines visual, tactile, and kinaesthetic approaches to support diverse learners and improve retention.

Classroom Ideas:

• Equivalence Discovery: Use a ruler vertically on the tray to help students visually align and identify equivalent fractions (e.g. 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6).
• Fraction Challenge: Ask students to solve problems like œ1 - 1/5 or œ3/4 + 1/8 using the tiles to visualise solutions.
• Comparative Reasoning: Have students place different fractions side by side in the tray to discuss size, value, and placement.
• Fraction Wall Games: Turn fraction discovery into a game-how many combinations can students find to make 1 whole?

Information:

• Set Includes: 51 plastic tiles representing 9 different fractions: 1 whole, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, and 1/12
• Colour-Coded Design: Each fraction type has its own colour, making it easy to identify and compare values
• Hands-On Learning: Use within the tray or overlay pieces to explore fraction relationships dynamically
• Age Group: Suitable for children aged 6 years and up
