• Write simple fractions for example, 1/2 of 6 = 3 and recognise the equivalence of 2/4 and 1/2.
• Mathematics, Year 3, Number - Fractions
• Recognise and show, using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators.
• Mathematics, Year 5, Number - Fractions (including decimals & percentages)
• Identify, name and write equivalent fractions of a given fraction, represented visually, including tenths and hundredths.
• Engage children with fractions by using our magnetic backed fraction bar.
• Understand that fractions aren't always circles or pie charts. Lay fractions side by side for easy comparison using this magnetic bar.
• Students often find it challenging to grasp the relationships between different fractions. The TTS foam magnetic fraction action bar addresses this by providing a visual and hands-on approach to learning fractions. This magnetic bar aids comprehension through easy manipulation on any magnetic surface. Constructed from foam with a magnetic backing, it is perfect for interactive lessons and group activities.
• The bars help students recognise and write simple fractions and identify equivalences, such as 2/4 being the same as 1/2, starting in Year 2. By Year 3, the resource enhances understanding of fractional relationships through visual comparisons and diagrams.
In Year 5, students can identify, name, and write equivalent fractions, including tenths and hundredths, using these fraction bars. This tool provides a clear visual representation of fractions, decimals, and percentages. It supports various stages of the mathematics curriculum, making complex concepts easier to understand.
