Fraction Wheel Kit

Product Code : SCL-M-12433

Fraction Wheel Kit by Educational Instrument is a mathematics teaching aid designed to help students understand fractions through visual, hands-on, and activity-based learning. The kit uses circular fraction segments to demonstrate parts of a whole, equivalent fractions, fraction comparison, addition, subtraction, and basic fraction relationships.

This kit is suitable for school mathematics laboratories, primary and middle school classrooms, STEM learning centres, remedial classes, activity rooms, and teacher-led demonstrations. It helps students move beyond memorizing fraction rules by allowing them to see, touch, arrange, and compare fraction parts practically.

Product Description

The Educational Instrument Fraction Wheel Kit is developed to make fraction learning simple and interactive. The circular design helps students clearly understand that a fraction represents a part of a complete whole. By dividing the circle into equal sections, learners can observe how halves, thirds, quarters, sixths, eighths, tenths, or twelfths relate to one full circle depending on the kit variant.

Teachers can use the Fraction Wheel Kit to explain numerator, denominator, equivalent fractions, mixed fractions, improper fractions, fraction addition, fraction subtraction, and comparison of fractions. It is especially useful for students who find abstract fraction concepts difficult to understand through textbook diagrams alone.

The kit supports concept-based mathematics education and helps improve visual reasoning, problem-solving ability, and classroom participation.

How to Use Fraction Wheel Kit

Place the Fraction Wheel Kit on a flat classroom table or demonstration board.

Show the full circle and explain that it represents one whole.

Remove or identify equal fraction parts such as 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, or 1/12 depending on the kit design.

Explain the numerator as the selected number of parts and the denominator as the total number of equal parts.

Compare two or more fraction pieces to show which fraction is larger or smaller.

Arrange smaller fraction parts to demonstrate equivalent fractions.

Use the pieces to show simple addition and subtraction of like fractions.

Ask students to form a complete circle using different fraction combinations.

Record observations and fraction relationships in the notebook.

Store all parts properly after use.
