My math manipulative is a variety of rings which each represent different fractions (from 1/2 to 1/8) that are scaled in relation to the pedestal that they go on top of. The relation between fractions with different denominators can be confusing. This manipulative helps students realize that several fractions with different denominators can be composed to make up the whole. This manipulative helps students make sense of fractions with different denominators and the relations between them.
