Purchase options and add-ons

This math workbook from the Dr. Pi Squared Math Workbooks series aims to teach what a fraction is and help kids visualize fractions. It is designed for kids who are just learning about fractions. The problems consist of colorful pictures from which kids are to determine fractions. The book begins with circles cut into pie slices, from halves to twelfths. The students need to determine what fraction of each pie is blue, yellow, and red. For example, if a pie is divided into fourths, two of which are blue, one yellow, and the other red, the student would answer one-half, one-fourth, and one-fourth. After ample practice with pie slices, the workbook moves onto triangles, squares, and hexagons. A couple of pages include groups of circles where kids need to determine fractions greater than one – for example, two and a half circles might be colored green. Other visual fraction problems include rectangles, smiley faces, arrows, letters, and numbers. Toward the end of the workbook, some questions ask about more than just colors – like what fraction of the arrows point up, or what fraction of the letters are vowels. Answers are nicely organized by page number in the back of the book to allow students, parents, or teachers to quickly check the answers. There is ample workspace for students to write large answers and still fit their solutions comfortably into the space provided. The problems appear in a large font size, since students usually write larger than standard textbook fonts. High-quality, durable, bright paper is used (instead of standard workbook paper, which often tears easily and appears dull in color).

Visual Fractions by Dr. Pi Squared

Picture of visual fractions logo

Learn what a fraction is

  • See firsthand what a fraction is.
  • Various shapes are divided into different colors.
  • Figure out which fraction of each shape is each color.
  • Simple example: In the circle above, 1/2 is blue, 1/4 is red, and 1/4 is yellow.
  • Answer key is included. The answers are in reduced form. For example, 2/4 reduces to 1/2.
  • Designed as a paperback with room to write the answers.

Picture of pie slices

Pie slices

  • Some exercises have pies divided into slices of various colors.
  • Determine which fraction of each pie is which color.
  • Two pages later in the book are dedicated to mixed numbers where the fraction is more than one pie (for example, two and three-fourths pies).

Picture of colored smiley faces

Smiley faces

  • Some problems feature smiley faces, words, arrows, or numbers.
  • In each set, there are objects of different colors.
  • Determine which fraction of each set is which color.
  • Simple example: For the group of smiley faces above, 1/2 are blue, 1/3 are yellow, and 1/6 are red.
  • Note that 3/6 is equivalent to 1/2. Three out of the total six smiley faces are blue, and you can divide them into three groups such that one out of two is blue in each group.

Picture of a fraction pyramid

Fraction pyramid

  • Not all of the shapes are circles.
  • Some of the shapes are triangles, squares, rectangles, or hexagons.
  • Each shape is divided into pieces with different colors.
  • Determine which fraction of each shape is which color.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2021

    My daughter is a visual learner. So, teaching math I usually use cutting pizza for fractions, baking a cake for measurements, etc. But math kinda sucks because it's not always easy to be visual. My daughter used to cry in math class because she had so much trouble understanding the concepts. She LOVES this workbook. Even my youngest has learned fractions by watching us work in this book. Visual math is such a great idea and my daughter doesn't cry over math anymore.

    I bought this for my 1st grade son to get a head start on fractions. It was clearer and simpler to read than any of the others I looked at. I wanted something that didn't cover too much information, but gave lots of practice on the concept of breaking a whole into pieces.

    I am so pleased with this book and my son enjoyed working through it.

    Great book for fractions, and particularly understanding reductions. More a practice book than for learning the original concept, but incredibly solid at what it does. We're using this for my 3rd grade son who is beginning fractions, and this really helped him leap from struggling to understanding.
