Abstract

In this manuscript, we review Froebel Gifts and its use as an effective, practical tool to teach and reinforce conceptual knowledge that students should acquire regarding fractions. Furthermore, we set forth and examine the different techniques and methods that can be used to explore this manipulative as a teaching material, and end focusing on the fifth Froebel Gift and several practical and interesting activities that can be developed with this material in class.
