Thirty6: A fraction tool

thingiverse

This is a fraction tool I call "Thirty6". It comes equipped with a game board, color-coded red, and an assortment of game pieces. The beauty of this tool lies in its versatility - you can use it however you see fit. That being said, here's how I envision it functioning as a means of exploring collections of fractions whose sum is 1. When the entire board is covered with tiles, you've successfully collected a set of fractions that add up to 1. To illustrate this concept, consider covering the board with the brown (½), blue (¼), green (1/6), orange (1/18), and yellow (1/36) tiles. In doing so, you'd be demonstrating that ½ + ¼ + 1/6 + 1/18 + 1/36 = 1 - a truly remarkable feat!
