 Good learning aidApr 05, 2010
By Katie H.
I run an afterschool program for 4th/5th graders and many of them struggle with fractions. These do a nice job of providing a visual aid.

Great for teaching fractions, decimals, and percents!Nov 26, 2011
By Jackson
I tutor math for grades K-12, but have noticed a major deficiency in most children's knowledge of fractions, decimals, and percents. I already own the Learning Resources Deluxe Fraction Tower, but I bought these to help youth who were struggling with converting fractions to percents or decimals. So far, it's been a hit! I love that they are built to teach all the aspects of the base ten number system, such as unit fractions (fractions that equal one). How 10% is the same as 1/10 and .1. The kids love that they are colorful and stick together like legos! In fact, my five year old son has a great time dumping all of these out of the package and trying to see what kinds of things he can build with them. This has given me some great opportunities to introduce fractions to him, without him knowing that he's learning. (A parent's dream!) I would highly recommend these for any setting: home, classroom, tutor, homeschool, etc.

Great Visual Tool!Oct 24, 2010
By Jersey Dawg
I use this when I am cooking with my daugther to help gain a concept of fractions and whole numbers. She is only 5 and I do not expect her to fully grasp the concept, but using this in conjunction with measuring cups and following a recipe I read out to her makes for a solid learning experience. It just adds to the fun of the activity, so it's a nice twist. I think something like this will be huge as she gets older and can visually appreciate the fractions and how they relate.

Perfect for fractions and decimalsJul 18, 2011
By Mother of 2 boys
I am always looking for good manipulatives to help my sons understand different concepts. These fraction cubes are perfect for helping them compare fractions to each other, and to decimals.
