Guidecraft Fraction Cups & Board ~ Review & Giveaway!

image19

Guidecraft has amazing math toys! Wooden toys that introduce math in a fun playful way are ideal in my boat!  We love the Fraction Action Board and Fraction Cups!

These have been an awesome tool to use for introducing concepts and vocabulary to Krash and Ladybug.  Ladybug is especially drawn to these, they are the perfect challenge for her.

IMG_4341I use the proper terms with her while she plays, so down the road they won’t be as strange when she hears them and it’s actually time to really learn fractions!IMG_4065

 

I love seeing her try different combinations out and also perfecting her “try again” or “help please” skills!  This fraction board gives her more trouble and we have really worked on those 2 phrases a lot when working with it!IMG_6420

Carisa - this is an extremely cool looking material! What a great manipulative. This is a wonderful example of a material that teaches by being handled. Those Guidecraft folks are putting out some great stuff, it looks like!
