These are an essential learning tool for any 4th or 5th grader, and for some 3rd and 6th graders, too. I have been an educator my whole career, and I specialize in preparing children for the ISEE/SSAT and/or other standardized exams at this level. I also work with children to support their regular academic work, whether it's common core or a different curriculum. Any 4th or 5th grader is working with fractions and decimals, and these are perfect for helping them make real sense of the concepts. I often start by handing a student the 1/2 cube, and then asking the student to find me as many other examples of fractions that are equivalent. The student will line up the various pieces and show me 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, 5/10, and 6/12. Then we will talk about what it might be if we had fraction cubes of 14ths or 20ths to show that any fraction equivalent to 1/2 has the relationship of the numerator being half the denominator. When adding and subtracting mixed numbers, and when converting mixed numbers and improper fractions, it's really helpful to have 2 sets of these, so you can show numbers that go above 1. Kids like handling the cubes, as they are colorful and interlocking, and even when they are just "playing" with them, they are likely still learning. A thorough understanding of fractions and decimals is so critical to learning percentages and other harder concepts in 6th grade, and these cubes are perfect for securing these foundational topics.

Seems like the numbers should have been printed the other way ...

Seems like the numbers should have been printed the other way feels like they r upside down. Like when u stack a lego u usually put the bumpy side up! But if u put bumpy side up the numbers would b upside down! So u have to put bumpy side down and then they fall over. They r a good tool just annoying they wont stand up.

These are very helpful manipulables I use with my fifth grader to teach her fractions.

Learning Resources Fraction Tower Activity Set are very helpful manipulables I use with my fifth grader to teach her fractions. I highly recommend. I also use flash cards for her, Fractions Flash Cards (which I believe were about $2.00). They have given her a basic understanding of fractions. By using both of these tools, she understands that fractions can be represented as decimals, and percentages. She can break them off and feel them in her hands. She understands that two quarters makes a half, and two halves makes a whole. She also understands from the cards that 2/3 is 4/6, and so forth. This is a worthwhile purchase, and will help your student learn and touch and understand before breaking into written problems.

Fabulous tool for hands-on learning of fractions!

3 October 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

Great product for helping elementary and middle school students understand fractions, decimals, and percents. Especially good for helping understanding of the relation between multiple fractions (1/3 and 2/6 for example). Great for kids who are hands-on or visual learners.

I used it recently with my sixth grade students in a lesson on adding fractions with different denominators and it really helped them to be able to see the relative sizes of the fractions. Great tool.

My one complaint is that the set doesn’t come with a base. Since the blocks are all interlocking ;kind of like LEGO’s) it would really help if there was a base that you could put different towers into so you could easily compare the heights.

Loved these! Would only make one addition.

Am happy I picked these up when they briefly were on sale on Prime Day. These are great! A perfect visual and tactile representation of fractions and decimals - easy to compare with each other and get a better grasp on a too-often difficult to understand concept.

The only thing I would add to the 1 column: 1 represented as a fraction (1/1). This is important so students understand that even whole numbers can be written in fraction form for when they move into mixed numbers and further, into making whole numbers into fractions to solve more complicated arithmetic.

Not a deal breaker though! Easy enough just to write it on there with a sharpie. Would definitely purchase again.
