What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
These are the plastic form boards from APH's Fractional Parts of Wholes curriculum kit — tactile math manipulatives that present fraction concepts (halves, thirds, quarters, etc.) as physical shapes students can handle and compare. The tactile and visual contrast design makes them accessible to students who are blind or have low vision learning foundational math. This listing is a replacement part for the full set, not a standalone curriculum — you'll need the complete Fractional Parts of Wholes kit for the pieces to be fully useful. Note that APH has discontinued this product, so availability is limited to remaining stock.

A teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI) or special education math teacher should integrate these into structured fraction lessons aligned to the student's IEP math goals.
