Product Description
fractions can be as "easy as pie" with this puzzle. Each
fraction Pie Puzzle is a puzzle and a conceptual
fraction lesson, all rolled into a fun activity. Select a card, place the starting pieces, and then complete the circles with the remaining
fraction pie pieces. Will one-third solve the puzzle? What about 2 one-sixths? This kinesthetic way to reinforce basic
fraction concepts teaches students how
fractional parts make up a whole and about equivalencies, common denominators and multiples.
Leveled from easy to difficult and self-correcting, the puzzles are perfect as a small group or center activity. It's an entertaining way for students to challenge their brain and understand fractions. Includes game board, 50 leveled puzzle cards (easy to challenging), 65 foam fraction pieces and guide. Solutions included for every puzzle. For 1 to 2 players.
My 7yo son was struggling with understanding fractions. This toy/tool made fractions click in his brain almost immediately. I like this tool because it is open-ended. The pieces can be put together in many different combinations and therefore show the relationships between the fractions.
This toy is attractive, and the colored pie "slices" are good graphic representations of fractions. However, the solutions to each puzzle are confusing. There are several ways to solve each puzzle (four quarters make a whole, as do eight eigths, ten tenths, etc.), but the solutions cards each only show a couple of solutions. My nephew got very discouraged, because his solutions never matched the ones illustrated. He kept thinking that he was getting the wrong answers, and it was hard to convince him that his answers were just as valid as the ones illustrated. It might be best to ignore the solutions.
