I ordered these cubes to teach my son about fractions, decimals, percentages and how they interrelate. The cubes that arrive are marked with fractions on one side and blank on the other three. That completely defeats the purpose, and as far as I'm concerned, makes it 3/4ths worthless since only 1/4 of the sides are marked. It would have been one thing if the picture didn't show the other sides marked, but they CLEARLY are. As far as I'm concerned, this is false advertising.

I bought this manipulative to help 4th and 5th graders better understand the concepts of, and interrelationships between, fractions, decimals, and percentages. It has been especially beneficial for struggling students, especially those that are visual learners. It has really helped my students to develop a much clearer understanding of these concepts.

Another reviewer commented that they were very disappointed because the pieces were not labeled on all sides. That customer must have received a faulty product. The Equivalency Cubes I received are clearly labeled on 3 sides: one side has the fraction, one has the decimal, and one has the percentage.

Great purchase!

I tutor math for grades K-12, but have noticed a major deficiency in most children's knowledge of fractions, decimals, and percents. I already own the Learning Resources Deluxe Fraction Tower, but I bought these to help youth who were struggling with converting fractions to percents or decimals. So far, it's been a hit! I love that they are built to teach all the aspects of the base ten number system, such as unit fractions (fractions that equal one). How 10% is the same as 1/10 and .1. The kids love that they are colorful and stick together like legos! In fact, my five year old son has a great time dumping all of these out of the package and trying to see what kinds of things he can build with them. This has given me some great opportunities to introduce fractions to him, without him knowing that he's learning. (A parent's dream!) I would highly recommend these for any setting: home, classroom, tutor, homeschool, etc.

I use this when I am cooking with my daugther to help gain a concept of fractions and whole numbers. She is only 5 and I do not expect her to fully grasp the concept, but using this in conjunction with measuring cups and following a recipe I read out to her makes for a solid learning experience. It just adds to the fun of the activity, so it's a nice twist. I think something like this will be huge as she gets older and can visually appreciate the fractions and how they relate.
