Crafted from durable wood and painted with non-toxic paint, the Montessori Fraction Skittles are designed to facilitate hands-on learning and conceptual understanding.
Visual Representation: Each set of Fraction Skittles consists of brightly coloured wooden pieces representing different fractions. These visual representations enable children to grasp abstract mathematical concepts concretely, enhancing their understanding of fraction relationships.
Hands-on Manipulation: The Fraction Skittles encourage tactile exploration and manipulation as children handle and arrange the pieces to explore different fraction combinations. This hands-on approach deepens comprehension and reinforces learning through sensory engagement.
Fraction Identification: By interacting with the Fraction Skittles, children develop proficiency in identifying and recognising fractions. The distinct colours and sizes of the skittles facilitate easy differentiation between fractions, promoting visual discrimination skills.
Fraction Equivalency: Through exploration and experimentation, children discover equivalencies among fractions. Manipulating different pieces allows them to explore how fractions can represent the same portion of a whole, laying a foundation for more advanced mathematical concepts.
Mathematical Problem-Solving: Engaging with the Fraction Skittles fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Children explore fraction addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division intuitively, building confidence in their mathematical abilities.
