Sehr gut, um Kindern das Teilen zu veranschaulichen und den Zusammenhang von 1/2 und 1/4 etc. zu erklären.

Fantastic pieces for learning fractions. We have had some fun chats about fruit sizes and what it would be like if fruits were actually as big as these pieces.

LOVE the idea of this. Makes learning fun...What I don't love is how thin these are. We have them for home use, one child (age 9) and they already look so worn out because they are so hard to peel off. I would prefer them thicker, even if that meant they were a smaller.

Got these for my daughter to help with her fractions for 3rd grade. Visuals were perfect and they worked great on her whiteboard.

Highly recommended - great for adults and kids, educational and fun at the same time. I introduced this to my son’s friends and they all wanted it, hence 3 purchases 😅 I also find it calming - while playing it gets you to focus, thin ahead and calculate the next moves.

I taught high school calculus for years, and the idea of teaching my six-year-old fractions terrifies me. I bought this set in an effort to physically illustrate the concepts. There is 1 whole piece, 2 halves, 3 thirds, 4 quarters, 6 sixths, and 8 eighths. So in theory you can make 6 wholes given the included pieces.At first, I let her play with the magnets. Without prompting her mind explored the pieces and how to make a whole with them. She tinkered with mixing the thirds with the halves and trying to figure out what other pieces she would need. It was fascinating to watch her mind work.The set itself is decent and certainly a value considering the current pricing of $20. We used these on the back of our front door which is metal. We have also used them on small dry erase boards as well. They are similar in quality to a flat refrigerator magnet.

Former teacher here--not math but science--anyway, I got these to work with my grandkids, especially the 2nd grader, on fractions. These fruit magnets are great because they are large and easy to handle. There are 6 different fruit slices, each one cut into different fractions--1/2, 1/3, 1/4. 1/6. 1,8, and 1 whole. You can lay them on top of each other to show the comparative size help kids understand that an 1/8th is actually smaller than a 1/4th. I created a guessing game where I turned them around backwards so the lables were not visible, held up two different pieces and asked, "One of these is a 1/4th and one is an1/8th, which is which?" Then the child tells me points to each and tells me the answer. When you are doing this, the only information they have is the size of each slice and it forces them to think about that instead of the colors or the labels. This was very successful. I am trying to think of some more games to create to make the learning more fun. Don't worry if you don't have a magnetic board, I used the back of a steel baking sheet for the magnetic surface. Note: aluminum cookie sheets are not magnetic. Allow the kids to touch and move the pieces around--give them a scenario--"We have 1 slice of fruit. There are 2 group-ups and two kids. The kids are not as hungry as the grown-ups so they want a smaller piece and the grown-ups both want the same size piece. (Leftovers allowed--could be 3 1/4ths and 2 1/8ths; no leftovers allowed--could be 2 1/3rds and 2 1/6ths. Let them try to figure it out by moving the various pieces around. Great for visual learners and hands-on learning.

This is a set of magnets designed to teach fractions. There are 6 “fruit” circles, each of which is split into slices and labeled with fractions measuring 1 (no split), 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, and 1/8. The material is what you would expect of a cheap fridge magnet.My kids (5yo) have had great fun making “crazy fruit” by mixing halves, quarters, and eighths to make wholes. It’s opened up ideas in their heads about numbers (“mommy why is the 8 the smallest even though it’s the biggest number?”) and we figured out how you can’t add quarters and thirds to make a whole. The included activity book is very minimal and clearly aimed at classroom use, so parents are pretty much on your own to come up with ideas for games to play with these.You do need a large magnetic surface to use these effectively. A fridge would work well, but ours doesn’t take magnets. They do all fit on the dishwasher door. A large whiteboard may work as well.My one concern is durability. After only a few days, the edges are becoming slightly ragged where we have been grabbing them to peel them up off the dishwasher door. I worry that the image will start to tear off the magnetic backing if subject to too much use.
