The Fraction Circle

Drag pieces, build fractions and see how they fit together
Year 3–6Addition – unlike denominators
1/41/6
Whole circle = 1
5/12
Answer circle
Conversion:1/4 = 3/121/6 = 2/12

Correct! With a common denominator the pieces are the same size – then you can add them together.

Fractions with Lydia

Fractions get hard when they are only digits. In the Fraction Circle your child drags out the pieces and sees that 1/4 and 1/6 are different sizes. With a common denominator the pieces become the same size – then you can add them together. The same piece is also shown as a percentage and a decimal.

Guiding question: Why do the pieces need to be the same size before you can add them?

Challenge

Frustration and conflict

Homework turns into an argument at the kitchen table.

With Lydia: Lydia asks the questions – you don't have to mark the maths yourself.

Challenge

Guessing instead of understanding

The right answer, but no idea why.

With Lydia: your child explains their thinking, in small steps with guiding questions.

Challenge

The wrong kind of screen time

The screen becomes entertainment instead of learning.

With Lydia: digital support combined with pen and paper.

The Lydia method

See → Do → Say → Write

Our teaching approach makes maths understandable – with visual support, small steps and encouragement.

  1. 01

    See

    Your child sees the concept in a picture or model.

  2. 02

    Do

    Your child tries it out with interactive models.

  3. 03

    Say

    Your child explains their thinking.

  4. 04

    Write

    Your child writes down their thinking with pen and paper.

Four principles

Visual learning

Diagrams, animations and models make abstract ideas concrete.

Micro-steps

Complex concepts are broken down into small, manageable steps.

Socratic guidance

Thoughtful questions instead of direct answers.

Confidence first

Encouragement that helps children dare to try and keep going.

Visual learning, step by step

Many students struggle with maths because it feels abstract. Lydia makes concepts concrete with interactive models – see how a student solves a problem with support from the AI coach.

Visual tens

The student sees that the “4” in 47 is four tens. Numbers become concrete objects.

Interactive regrouping

Ten ones become a new ten. The student experiences the maths – instead of just reading about it.

Logical carrying

No magic rules – the student understands why the digit is carried.
