Natural Fractions Set - Set of 36

Mastering maths has never been this much fun (or this stylish)! Our Natural Fractions Set brings fractions to life, offering a tactile way to explore mathematical concepts like numerical skills, reasoning, and pattern recognition. Whether nestled in your EYFS maths area or used to support numeracy games for KS1 and KS2, these set of 6 beautifully crafted wooden slices are the ultimate teacher resource. Their natural aesthetic makes them a joy to handle, helping learners develop a deeper understanding of fractions through play—plus, they look great in a wicker fraction basket alongside nature’s resources. Who says maths skills and rustic charm don’t mix?

Each slice is a fraction of a whole, from halves all the way to eighths. Watch as learners build confidence in early years foundation stage maths, experimenting with different combinations to complete the circle. This set is perfect for problem-solving activities or hands-on early years maths curriculum games. And if you really want to take the fun up a notch, why not sprinkle in our stick set or one of our rustic construction sets? They’re ideal for showing how different sizes relate to fractions, encouraging creative reasoning and cross-curricular learning. Bonus points if you turn it into an impromptu EYFS numeracy game – nothing gets learners engaged quite like a bit of friendly competition. Just be prepared for some serious maths enthusiasm (and maybe a fraction pun or two).

Because each piece is crafted from natural wood, no two sets are exactly alike, making them a unique addition to your early years maths activities. With diameters ranging from 12-15cm, they’re perfectly sized for classroom use or EYFS numeracy sessions.
