Montessori Fraction Magnet Learning Set for Children

Explore fractions by placing magnetic pieces onto boards and number charts

This fraction learning set invites children to place colourful magnetic pieces onto flat boards that show number grids and fraction circles. The set includes separate fraction segments and rectangular pieces marked with simple fraction values, which can be arranged on the boards to build whole shapes and compare parts. Children can move the pieces, line them up, and match fractions to the printed guides, helping them see how different parts relate to one whole. The book-style format keeps the boards together and provides a clear surface for hands-on exploration.

By placing and rearranging fraction pieces, children can visually explore how numbers combine and divide into equal parts. The activity encourages noticing patterns, comparing sizes, and checking whether pieces fit into complete circles or rows. Working with the magnetic elements allows children to adjust their attempts easily, supporting repeated exploration and gradual understanding of fraction relationships through direct interaction.

What children can explore while working with fractions:

Hands-on fraction building: Children place magnetic fraction pieces into circle and grid spaces, helping them see how parts combine to form a whole. This supports early number sense through visual and physical arrangement.

Comparing parts and sizes: Lining up different fraction pieces allows children to notice how some parts are larger or smaller than others. This visual comparison supports understanding of relative sizes without relying on abstract explanation.

Fine motor practice: Picking up and positioning small magnetic pieces involves careful hand movements. This supports coordination skills used in everyday tasks such as writing, drawing, and handling small learning tools.

Pattern and order awareness: Arranging fraction tiles into rows or sequences helps children recognise simple patterns and numerical order. This supports early logic and structured thinking during play-based learning.

Shared learning play: Children can work together to build complete shapes, compare results, and discuss different ways to combine pieces. This encourages cooperative learning and communication during shared activities.
