Learning Resources Rainbow Angle Circles Single Set, 91486

If you have a child who loves maths and numbers then this is the ideal sticking filler. My son loves anything to do with maths and was thrilled to see this and have a go with it.There is so much scope for learning in a fun way.

Really helpful for my 9 and 11 year learning fractions. Great resource at a cheap price.

I've only had it a short while and it's already proving popular with my home-schooled kids, ages 7 & 10.Although it's perhaps a bit basic for the 10 year-olds, the colourful, tactile nature of the sector pieces still appeals to both age groups. For the younger one, it's a good introduction to addition and subtraction of angles, fractions, terminology (acute, obtuse, sector, etc.), and geometry. The older ones found some interesting activities to do, such as working out the total number of possible combinations or permutations that can be used to make up 180 degrees. It's all just a bit more fun than using only a protractor and pencil, as I did when I was a child!It comes with a booklet with four activity ideas, but there's plenty more you can come up with (or look up online, probably). I've taken off one star as the pieces arrived stuck together with sticky labels that were rather messy to remove, due to an inappropriate choice of glue.

Great idea for hands on maths, helping to make tricky concepts like angles a little more visual. The set comes with several disks each split into pieces and labelled by their angles. It helps in understanding how a circle must have 360, or a line 180 and how these can be made up differently.The set is small and compact so doesn’t take a lot of space but has everything you need, including an activity ideas booklet.I have seen these sets before in fractions, but not with angles, and it is a great maths resource to explore

This is a nice set to introduce children to angles. The circles are all colour co-ordinated for ease of use. My daughter has had great fun piecing different combinations together to see what makes a whole circle. It makes learning fun!

I’ve used these to teach my 6 year old all about the basics of fractions. She understands the concept much better as she’s able to see the fractions and compare sizes. She can now see thet a half is the same as two quarters... and that 6/12th is also the same!The set comes assembled with stickers on the back. They peel off ok - just be careful. Lots of scope for learning ideas with this set. Really effective.

This does help with understanding the basics of fractions. We have a similar thing in wood, with linear fractions representation for comparison (and the circles), the wooden one has less fracted items but I find it slightly more useful as it shows different ways of how fractions work. But this is an excellent product to describe & understand circles. It also works very well with TickIt LED table top lamps.

A simple product but the bright colours helps reinforce the visual learning of mathematical angles.My daughter found this visually engaging.A great visual product.
