Equivalence Fraction Tiles Set
- Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
Learning fractions, decimals and percentages and seeing the connections between them can be challenging. They were for me! Manipulatives such as these can be just the aid needed to help students grasp the concepts. This set includes three tile sets: fractions, decimals, and percentages. The tiles correlate in shape and color. So, to build a tile that represents the large "1" blue tile (6" long), your student can use twelve 1/12 pink tiles, six 0.166 orange tiles, or eight 12.5% tiles. You can also show correlation with colors: the yellow tiles are 2.5%, 1/4, and 0.25. So helpful to bridge between the three equivalents! I would personally add magnets to the tile backs for further usability. Colors, from largest to smallest, are blue, brown, black, yellow, green, orange, red, purple and pink. Nine different fractions (and their equivalents) included: 1, ½, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6 1/8, 1/10, and 1/12. Tiles are 1" tall and range from 6" long for the "1" (or whole) tile to 1/2" long for the 1/12 tile. Comes in a transparent, plastic storage case with attached lid (bottom is 6 1/4" x 4 1/4"; top of case is 6 ½ x 4 ½). ~ Ruth
Set includes printed mini fraction tiles, decimal tiles, percentage tiles in solid plastic container.

No, they are plastic with no magnetic strip.
Yes, nice hard plastic. They aren't going to bend. They are not huge. A set is about 6X8 inches, and they come in a nice plastic container for storage. They have been a great learning tool.
The blue "1" bar is 6" x 1". That should give you an idea of the relative size of the remainder. The plastic case that is used for storage measures 6.5" x 4.5"
They are stuck together by tape, so they are all together. I have used them this way. They could be separated if you wanted to, but stay together well if you want them to remain together.
The tiles are 7/8" tall and range in width from 1/2" to 1 1/2".
