Fraction dice provide students with the fun opportunity to make their own fractions. Kids can pair up in groups and take turns rolling the fraction dice and solving whatever equation they are landed with. Crafting sums helps to master other areas of maths such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions.
Our range of products includes 6 individual fraction dice and a jar of 60 fraction dice. These come in three colours denoting a different set of fractions, White: 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, and 1/12 Green: 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 Red: 1/3, 1/6 and 1/12.
Students can practise pattern-making by lining the fractions up in a specific order (ie, odd, even, odd, odd, even). Guessing the next dice in a pattern or finding the common link improves children’s understanding of statistical probability.
A pair of students each have 2 fraction dice which they keep rolling with the aim of getting two of the same. An extra point can be earned if one of your dice is the same as your competitor. The first person to get to 10 points wins.
In a group of three one player rolls multiple dice resulting in a list of fractions. The other two players must quickly add together all the fractions, and the first person to answer correctly wins. This can go around in a circle to improve efficiency and numeric understanding.
With a whiteboard at the ready, students can roll a fraction dice and draw the pie chart equivalent to the fraction the dice land on. This will improve their ability to visualise quantities and transfer between different methods of maths.
