Students often struggle with the concept of fractions. This interactive fraction strips tool helps students visualize fractions. With these online fraction strips, students can model fractions, solve fraction problems, explore equivalent fractions, and observe the differences between denominators.

To use the interactive fraction strips tool, click and drag the strips onto the canvas. You can drag as many of each fraction as you'd like. To remove the strips, drag them off the canvas. Change the chart to accommodate two whole units by pressing the "Unit Double" button. Add annotations using the pencil tool and erase using the eraser. To clear the canvas, press the trash can button.

A few activities you can do with students while using the online fraction strip tool include:

Have students model a given fraction, mixed or not. For example 1 1/4 or 3/6.

Ask students to model addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division problems using the fraction strips.

Ask students to find equivalent fractions for a certain fraction. For example, how many sixths are equivalent to 1/3?

Ask students to use the pencil tool to divide one of the wholes on the chart into fourths. Then, students can check their work by dragging fourths onto the chart afterward.

Using fraction circles to teach fractions is as easy as pie! Using the idea of pie is actually a great way to familiarize students with the idea of fractions. With fraction circles, children can imagine dividing a pie into equal pieces and show that visually.

To use the fraction circles, simply click and drag the colored pieces onto the circles. You can remove pieces by simply clicking them and dragging them out of the circles. By using different colors for each fraction, we made it easy for students to compare them.

Use these interactive fraction circles with your students to explore equivalent fractions, common denominators, and mixed numbers. You can show students a mixed, simple, or improper fraction and then ask students to model it using the fraction circles. Students can also model operations with fractions using fraction circles.

Students use Google slides to show how they would use math to plan a garden, set a savings goal to buy a toy, or make a schedule of what they do after school. If preferred, instead of Google slides, students can create a "vlog" using the video camera on their Chromebook. Upload your video to our Google Classroom.
