Fractions zeppelin

thingiverse

This is a clever Zeppelin design to help 4-6 year old students learn and grasp the concept of fractions. The magnets were purchased from Amazon, and the eight sections of the Zeppelin were created in Tinkercad using precision engineering. Magnets are carefully glued into place following a pattern to ensure that all sections can clip together properly with the correct polarity. Make sure you know how to orient each magnet section correctly before starting assembly. This will guarantee a smooth and precise build experience. The design is a fun way for kids to understand fractions, and it's perfect for hands-on learning. With a little creativity, this Zeppelin design can become an essential tool in teaching math concepts. To get started, you'll need the following materials: Magnets: Available on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BX1MC6Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Adhesive: Loctite Clear Adhesive 60-Fluid Ounce (https://www.amazon.com/Loctite-Clear-Adhesive-60-Fluid-1832982/dp/B00PDAMZ3C/ref=sr_1_1?crid=SY9YBZXH063U&dchild=1&keywords=loctite+go2+gel&qid=1589725358&sprefix=loctite+go2+%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-1) The idea for this design was inspired by the Learning Resources Magnetic Apple Fractions toy, available at Walmart (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Learning-Resources-Magnetic-Apple-Fractions-Grades-K/15926362?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0). To estimate costs, you'll need approximately $6.72 in magnets and around $3-4 for PLA filament. This design can be printed using an IDEX printer, allowing you to print two Zeppelins at a time with 20% infill density.
