Fraction Tiles

These are a version of fraction tiles that can fit on a single piece of paper for use on a fraction number line (click here to download a pdf with different number lines for this manipulative). Each plate includes 12 individual sets (if you only want ONE set, delete the other 11 sets). This is designed so that class sets can be 3D printed more quickly and efficiently. This manipulative has been used with kids. Also, the “whole” has a hinge so that it can be folded and put into a container more easily. It may be more useful to have more than one set per student (or 3-4 sets per small group) so that students can practice going beyond a whole. This manipulative is grate for fraction comparisons and arithmetic (add, subtract, multiply, divide). It is a very good tool (when paired with the paper-based number line linked here) to teach children how to place / label fractions on the number line.
