Rainbow Fraction Towers (51pc) | NDIS Tactile Math Aid

Transform abstract mathematics into a concrete, understandable experience with the Rainbow Fraction Tower Cubes. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this 51-piece set is specifically designed to support NDIS participants living with Dyscalculia, Autism (ASD), ADHD, or learning disabilities who struggle with mathematical reasoning and "number sense."

For many neurodivergent learners, understanding fractions, decimals, and percentages from a textbook is conceptually difficult and anxiety-inducing. These interlocking cubes provide a physical representation of these values. By snapping a "1/2" block onto a "1/2" block and seeing it equal a "Whole," the participant receives immediate visual and tactile proof of mathematical concepts. This multi-sensory approach bypasses the need for rote memorisation, reducing cognitive load and building the confidence required for financial literacy and independent problem solving.

3. How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

• Supporting Dyscalculia: Converts invisible, abstract concepts (like 1/4 or 0.25) into physical objects with weight and size, helping to bridge the gap in understanding quantity and value.

• Visual-Spatial Processing: Uses distinct colour-coding for each fraction group (e.g., Red for 1, Pink for 1/2), allowing users with visual processing differences to categorize and retrieve information quickly.

• Fine Motor Development: The snap-together mechanism requires bimanual coordination and pincer grip strength, integrating fine motor therapy into cognitive learning tasks.

• Reducing Math Anxiety: Gamifies the learning process, lowering the stress response often associated with numeracy tasks and allowing for "trial and error" without the fear of making mistakes on paper.

4. Key Features & Benefits

• Comprehensive 51-Piece Set: Covers a wide range of values including Wholes, Halves, Thirds, Fourths, Fifths, Sixths, Eighths, Tenths, and Twelfths for complete foundational learning.

• Dual-Sided Markings: Cubes are often marked with fractions, decimals, or percentages (depending on the specific face used), supporting multiple levels of numeracy capability.

• Durable Construction: Made from high-quality, non-toxic plastic that clicks together securely and withstands frequent handling in therapy or classroom environments.

• Montessori-Aligned: Follows the proven educational philosophy of "concrete before abstract," making it an ideal inclusion aid for participants in mainstream schooling.

• High-Contrast Colours: Each value has a unique, vibrant colour, serving as a visual cue that aids memory retention and pattern recognition.
