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.
