Step –1

Prepare the base - Let us make a fraction puzzle to make learning mathematics easy and fun for kids. Take four A-4 sized corrugated sheets and mark the puzzle lines using pencils and scales on them. Refer to the image.

Step –2

Make more puzzle pieces Step – Take three more corrugated sheets and draw the same puzzle lines on each. Take scissors and cut along the lines to obtain the pieces of the puzzle.

Step –3

Paint the bases Step –3 Pick Rangeela Tempera Pastel Colours and paint the corrugated bases with different colours. If the corrugated sheet soaks the colour in the first coat, you can apply one more coat to give a solid look to the puzzle base.

Step –4

Draw the fractional circle - Pick a pencil and draw a few interactive fraction circles. Draw 8 circles for two pieces for each of the puzzles. Divide the circles according to your denominators. For example, if your denominator is 8, draw 8 sections of the circle.

Step –5

Cut and paint the circle - Take Rangeela Tempera Pastel Colours and paint the fraction circles. Paint the numerator as part of the circle. For example, if your numerator is 2, paint two sections of the circle.

Step –6

Stick the circles - Take two painted circles and stick them in the center of the puzzle using Fevistik Power. You can stick them on alternate pieces of the puzzle to look clean. Calculate the numerator and denominator and write the figures on the remaining pieces. Similarly, follow the sequence for all the puzzles.

Step –7

Final Look - This is how you can make learning Maths fun by creating this fraction puzzle.
