🥧 What It Does
Fractions finally make sense when you can hold them in your hands! This comprehensive learning kit helps lower primary children build a strong, confident foundation in fractions — covering addition, subtraction and comparing fractions using numerators and denominators, in line with key syllabus topics. Developed in collaboration with Ms Lee Pey Ren, a Ministry of Education educator with over 35 years of teaching experience in Singapore's primary and secondary schools, the kit pairs a thorough guide book with a generous set of hands-on manipulatives so children can see, touch and truly understand how fractions work.
📐 Why It's Great for Learning
Fractions are one of the biggest stumbling blocks in primary maths — and the reason is often that children are asked to imagine them rather than experience them. This kit fixes that. Slotting pie chart pieces together shows instantly why two quarters make a half; the foam comparison chart makes "which is bigger, one-third or one-quarter?" something children can answer with their own eyes. Parents and teachers can work through the activity book alongside the charts, practise the basics together, then tackle the challenging bonus questions — with full answers provided throughout. Learning through play, backed by decades of real classroom expertise.
