Fraction, Percentage & Decimal Grid

The Fraction Grid shows the relationship between fractions and percentages on the front face with the equivalent decimal values on the reverse.

By folding the fraction grid down the vertical channels, children can discover that one quarter is the same as 25% and 0.25 etc and by folding the grids again and again they can find the equivalent fractions, percentages and decimals that make up 1.

What is a Flexitable?

Flexitables are no ordinary numeracy charts or multiplication tables for kids: they are tactile and made of soft flexible plastic. This low tech approach to maths teaching resources is an effective way of boosting key numeracy skills.

The Flexitable programme consists of a multiplication tables (times tables), an addition, a number and a fraction/decimal grid all printed on soft flexible plastic that has vertical and horizontal channels allowing children to continuously fold them again and again. Flexitables have a far greater life than paper or cardboard products, and are proven to be a very effective way of teaching numeracy and times tables to kids.

Flexitables are tactile and children love manipulating them when trying to discover the answers. Our multiplication tables (times tables) and grids are particularly useful for teaching pupils with special needs (e.g. Dyslexia) as they can be taught on a “one-to-one basis” at their own speed.
