These are an essential learning tool for any 4th or 5th grader, and for some 3rd and 6th graders, too. I have been an educator my whole career, and I specialize in preparing children for standardized exams at this level. Any 4th or 5th grader is working with fractions and decimals, and these are perfect for helping them make real sense of the concepts.
I often start by handing a student the 1/2 cube and then asking the student to find me as many other examples of fractions that are equivalent. The student will line up the various pieces and show me 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, 5/10, and 6/12. Then we will talk about what it might be if we had fraction cubes of 14ths or 20ths to show that any fraction equivalent to 1/2 has the relationship of the numerator being half the denominator.
Kids like handling the cubes, as they are colorful and interlocking, and even when they are just “playing” with them, they are likely still learning. A thorough understanding of fractions and decimals is so critical to learning percentages and other harder concepts in 6th grade, and these cubes are perfect for securing these foundational topics.

Thank you 💜
You’re welcome, Jer!
Thanks! I’ve got 3rd grade twins doing fractions and a 5th header doing decimals so triple win!!!
You’re SO very welcome! Glad you could grab them this set!
Thank you! We are a homeschool family and fractions are always tricky. Hoping these will help our 4th grader as he learns and offer a refresher to our older kids.
You’re welcome, Sara! Hoping these will help!
My soon to be 3rd grader was struggling with simple fractions during online schooling. He probably won’t be *that* excited to see these since he swears he hates math already (😢), but I think these could really help.
We have a neat fractions pizza game. My kids love it and don’t realize they are learning fractions. I think it’s by Learning resources.
We have that too, although I can’t say my kids are very excited about it. I appreciate anything like this that is more hands-on for my kids to learn math especially something as important as fractions for this age group!
We have had a lot of success using the math shark from learning resources for math fact practice. That also goes into the decimals and fractions
Thanks for the suggestions!
Know a music teacher that uses mega blocks to demonstrate different configurations of 4 beats (1 whole beat, 2 halfs, etc each in its own color) and drew the visual note on one side and a visual rest note on the other side…could do the same with fractions on one side and decimal on the other. Would only go to 4ths but that could lay a good foundation using what many already have or could easily borrow.
