Magnetic Fraction Tiles & Circles (156pc) | NDIS Visual Math Aid

Demystify mathematics and build foundational numeracy skills with the Magnetic Fraction Tiles & Circles Set. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this comprehensive 156-piece toolkit is specifically designed to support NDIS participants living with Dyscalculia, Autism (ASD), ADHD, or intellectual disabilities who struggle with abstract concepts.

Mathematics often relies on visualizing "invisible" values, which can be a significant barrier for neurodivergent learners. This set converts fractions into tangible, magnetic objects. By physically manipulating a "pie" (circle) or a "bar" (tile), participants can see and feel how 1/2 equals 2/4, or how fractions add up to a whole. The magnetic backing allows these tools to be used on vertical surfaces like whiteboards or fridges, encouraging standing and movement during learning—a key strategy for engaging participants with ADHD or low muscle tone.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

• Supporting Dyscalculia: Converts abstract numerical concepts into physical mass and colour, helping participants bridge the gap between numbers on a page and real-world quantity.

• Visual-Spatial Generalisation: Includes both linear (tiles) and circular (pies) manipulatives, helping users understand that mathematical rules apply to different shapes and contexts (essential for money handling and time telling).

• Enhancing Focus: The magnetic adhesion provides immediate tactile feedback and keeps pieces secure, reducing frustration for users with fine motor challenges who struggle with loose blocks sliding away.

• Cognitive Capacity Building: Supports the development of logical reasoning and pattern recognition, which are critical skills for independent living tasks such as budgeting and cooking measurements.

Key Features & Benefits

• Massive 156-Piece Set: Provides a complete learning spectrum from 1 (Whole) down to 1/12, ensuring there are enough pieces for complex comparisons and operations.

• Dual Learning Formats: Includes 12 circles (12.7cm diameter) and 12 strips (21cm length), enabling the participant to transfer skills between different visual formats.

• Strong Magnetic Backing: Sticks firmly to whiteboards, fridges, or magnetic desks, preventing lost pieces and allowing for "vertical learning" which supports posture and attention.

• Colour-Coded System: Each fraction value corresponds to a specific vibrant colour (e.g., Red = 1, Yellow = 1/4), utilizing visual association to aid memory recall.

• Durable & Soft: Made from thick, durable foam with a magnetic layer, these tiles are quiet to use (sensory friendly) and easy to grasp for hands with limited dexterity.
