Fraction Models

Approach fractions with these visual models which serve to reinforce numerators and denominators as well as simplifying improper fractions. Scholars examine segmented shapes and fill in a fraction to represent the shaded region. For the first two they have either the denominator or numerator written in for them, but they write the complete fraction for the rest. Several require simplifying and mixed numbers, and learners are prompted through this process by the answer boxes. Note there is one error in the sixth problem: the answer boxes lead scholars to fill in a mixed number, however the answer is 12/12 or 1.
