15 sets each contains 51 Fraction Tower Equivalency Cubes and 1 Storage Container.
Description:
Fraction Tower Equivalency Cubes are color-coded, interlocking cubes are marked with fractions, decimals, and percents. Use them separately or together to conduct explorations of fractional values by interlocking and comparing cubes. Teach students how to compare and construct fractions, work with mixed numbers, and add/subtract fractions with like and unlike denominators. Fraction towers represent a whole, halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, eighths, tenths, and twelfths. Largest cube measures 4-3/4" x 3/4".
