Bring a hands-on approach to learning fractions and mass inquiries with these Wooden Weighted Fraction Blocks. Designed to be used with the Outdoor Pan Scale, these blocks provide a tactile way for students to explore and understand fractions by comparing their weight. The blocks range in size, with the 1/1 block being twice as heavy as the 1/2 block, and the 1/2 block being twice as heavy as the 1/4 block, creating a tangible representation of fractional relationships. The largest block measures 8 x 8 x 4cm, making this set an excellent resource for outdoor learning and interactive math lessons.
Educational Benefits:
- Helps students develop a solid understanding of fractions by visualising their relative sizes and weight differences.
- Facilitates mass and weight exploration in combination with the outdoor pan scale, providing a multisensory learning experience.
- Encourages active learning through physical manipulation of blocks, making fraction concepts more accessible and engaging for young learners.
- Fosters critical thinking as students compare, contrast, and experiment with different fractions and weights in real-world scenarios.
Classroom Ideas:
- Incorporate the fraction blocks with the Outdoor Pan Scale to compare weights and discuss the relationship between fractions and mass.
- Challenge students to balance different fraction blocks on the pan scale, helping them visualise the concept of equivalency and the size of fractions.
- Use the blocks to introduce students to fraction addition and subtraction by exploring how different blocks interact on the scale.
- Involve students in hands-on outdoor experiments, allowing them to explore the weight of natural objects in relation to fraction blocks.
Information:
- Block sizes: Largest block – 8 x 8 x 4cm
- Fractional values: 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, and other fractional sizes based on weight
- Material: FSC® certified sustainable wood
- Designed for use with the Wooden Outdoor Pan Scale (TEB6265) for integrated learning of mass and fractions
