Rainbow Fraction Tower^® Cubes Classroom Kit, Set of 30

Fraction Tower Cubes are color-coded, interlocking cubes are marked with fractions. 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".
