What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
This is a set of tactile circle fraction pieces — physical manipulatives divided into fractional segments that students can feel and handle to understand concepts like halves, thirds, and quarters. Designed for students who are blind or have low vision and cannot access standard printed fraction diagrams, these tactile tools make abstract math concepts concrete through touch. This is a replacement component for the larger Fractional Parts of Wholes Set (APH catalog #1-03290-00), so it won't stand alone as a complete curriculum — you'd need the full set or other matching APH materials for it to make complete sense in a lesson. Note that APH has discontinued this item, so availability is limited to remaining stock.
