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.

Use this interactive online fraction bars tool to help students visualize and understand fractions. This free fraction bars tool is great for exploring fractions through operations, equivalent fractions, and modeling.

To use the tool, press the arrows to change the numerator and denominator. As you do so, the fraction bar below will adjust to represent the fraction visually. Once you've chosen your fraction, you can click, drag, and drop it onto the chart above. To remove fraction bars from the chart, click and drag them off. Or, you can simply put another fraction bar on top of the others. Conveniently, the colors of the bars change to make comparing the fractions easy.

Wondering how to use the online fraction bars too? Here are some ideas:

Ask students to display a fraction and put it on the chart as a fraction bar (ie. 1/2). Then, ask students to display an equivalent fraction bar (ie. 2/4).

Ask students to model operations involving fractions.

Invite students to compare fractions by displaying various different ones on the chart. Which fractions show more than half? Which show less than half? Which show more than a quarter?
