Magnetic Fraction Segments provide a hands-on way for students to explore fractions and develop an understanding of how parts relate to a whole. The set includes colour-coded magnetic segments in different sizes that visually represent fractions of a complete circle. Students can combine, separate and compare the pieces to investigate fraction size, equivalence and parts-to-whole relationships. Designed for use on suitable magnetic surfaces, the segments provide a clear visual and tactile representation of abstract fraction concepts, making them a practical maths resource for individual, small-group and teacher-led activities in Years 2–3. Applications and Use • Explore fractions as equal parts of a whole using circular fraction models. • Combine individual segments to create a complete circle and investigate parts-to-whole relationships. • Compare fractions by positioning different-sized segments alongside each other. • Explore equivalent fractions by combining segments and comparing the resulting quantities. • Investigate halves, quarters, eighths and other fractions represented within the set. • Create fraction matching, comparison and equivalence activities for individual or group learning. • Use on magnetic surfaces for teacher demonstrations, maths rotations and hands-on fraction activities. Features • Colour-coded segments provide clear visual differentiation between fractions. • Different-sized pieces visually represent fractions of a whole circle. • Segments can be combined to demonstrate how fractional parts form a whole. • Magnetic design allows pieces to be positioned and rearranged on suitable magnetic surfaces. • Hands-on manipulation supports visual and kinaesthetic approaches to learning fractions. • Supports exploration of fraction size, equivalence, comparison and parts-to-whole relationships. • Suitable for individual, paired, small-group and teacher-led activities. Specifications • Format: Colour-coded magnetic fraction segments • Shape: Segments combine to form a complete circle • Recommended Age: Years 2–3 • Compatibility: Suitable for use on magnetic surfaces • Recommended Use: Fraction recognition, parts-to-whole relationships, fraction comparison and equivalent fractions
