Learning Resources Fraction Tower Cubes

Great for the kids

Will be very useful for grandson to help with the learning of fractions.

So I bought these because they have percentages, decimals and fractions on. Received them and the only have fractions, the other sides are blank. This is very disappointing as I wanted my son to compare the fractions to decimals and percentages as he loves anything to do with number and maths and he can't do that now. These are great if you just want fractions but not if you want everything described in the description

I used this to introduce fractions to my class for the first time as a part of a whole selection of resources, and this was the resource I reached for 95% of the time. Really clear to understand, great for division by grouping (draw on them with drywipe pen) and the proportional sizes across the set avoided any misconceptions. The only things I'd improve are: making one side magnetic (so they will stick to a whiteboard); and adding more denominators (sevenths, ninths and elevenths are not included).

Good quality product if you just want fractions cubes. I felt it much better value to get the cubes with fractions on one side and then %’s and decimals on two of the other sides for my daughters future development and that is what I thought these would be. Subsequently, I returned them unfortunately.

Both out children struggle with the some what challenging concept of fractions - I still struggle with the Riemann Hypothesis and Goldbach conjecture! Anyway, this set is great for visualising the issue and making children familiar with the basics.Yet I thought the set was a little expensive, and you can perhaps make a similar visual aid from paper, cardboard or even Lego’s (!). Still these blocks are colourful, sturdy, and interconnecting which is all helpful. One wonders why some of the other sides are not used for decimals and percentages? - I can not imagine it is because the manufacturer wants to sell you three sets. We have solved that by printing and adding neat little percentage and decimal stickers on the blank sides.

These have been on my wishlist for ages and I finally picked them up. They were a bit pricey, but just as useful as I expected - great for modelling, small groups and independent work. If they were more reasonably priced, I would pick up more!

Excellent value for money, great colours and used with my 9 year and also my 5 year old. These will be around for years to come I’m sure.
