Magnetic Fraction Discs — Hands-On Fraction Manipulatives

Description

MAKE FRACTIONS VISIBLE FOR EVERY STUDENT, EVERY DAY!

Teaching fractions is one of the biggest leaps in elementary math — and the fastest way to build that understanding is to let students see and touch the pieces. These Magnetic Fraction Discs turn your whiteboard into a whole-class fraction model, and your small-group table into a hands-on discovery center.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS SET:

Color-Coded Fraction Discs

Nine bright, color-coded discs representing 1 whole, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10 and 1/12. Each disc breaks apart into its unit-fraction pieces, so students can physically build, unbundle and rebuild each fraction. The consistent color-coding helps children recognize fraction families at a glance and spot equivalent fractions instantly.

Strong Magnetic Backing

Every piece has a full magnetic back that holds firmly to any whiteboard, filing cabinet, or magnetic easel — no slipping, no sliding mid-lesson. Demonstrate at the board while students follow along with the same pieces at their desks.

Clear Fraction Labels

Each segment is labeled with its unit fraction, connecting the visual model to the written fraction. Perfect for building fraction vocabulary (numerator, denominator, unit fraction) and for supporting emerging bilinguals with a concrete visual reference.

How Teachers Use This Set

• Whole-group demonstrations: build fractions at the board during your mini-lesson
• Comparing fractions: stack discs to see why 1/3 > 1/5
• Equivalent fractions: overlay pieces to discover 2/4 = 1/2 and 4/6 = 2/3
• Adding fractions: combine pieces to make one whole
• Math centers: an instant, no-prep hands-on station

NO FILLER HERE! Every piece in this set is intentional, distraction-free, and designed to elevate student thinking — just like every resource in my store. Please use the Q&A feature if you have any questions! I'm happy to support you in any way I can!
