Fractions Poster
840 x 600 mm

This poster combines the methods of representing a fraction as a sector of a circle and as a proportion of a bar of constant length. In doing so it illustrates in an interesting and significant way the relationships between all proper fractions up to twelfths and their decimal equivalents. £3.53 (inc.VAT)

Perimeter and Area
840 x 600 mm

The essential message of this brightly coloured poster is that the area of a shape and its perimeter should not be confused. It emphasises that a fixed area can have very different perimeters and a fixed perimeter can enclose very different areas. When teaching this important part of the mathematics curriculum, this poster offers useful support. £3.53 (inc.VAT)

Teaching and understanding fractions can be assisted by representing them visually as sectors of a circle, proportions of a strip or proportions of a square. This material from the USA is designed to use all three methods and illustrates in a physical form the relationships between proper fractions as far as twelfths.

Rainbow Manipulatives

Made of a hard and precision-cut plastic material, these pieces illustrate the relationships between halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, sixths, eighths, twelfths and the whole as a square or as a circle. Each packs away into a box which also serves for storage and as a work tray.
