Fraction Strips 1 – 12

Description

These FREE NO-PREP fraction strips are a great math manipulative.

How to Use:

These FREE NO-PREP Fraction Strips can be used to help students visualize fractions and perform operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Here are some ways to use fraction strips:

How to Use:

Find a common denominator

To find a common denominator, list the multiples of each number until you find a number that appears in both lists. For example, to find the common denominator for 1/2 and 1/5, you can list the multiples of 2 and 5, and 10 appears in both lists.

Compare fractions

Place fraction strips side by side to compare them. For example, fourths are equal to the whole strip when placed next to it.

Represent mixed fractions

To represent a mixed fraction, mark two strips on the fraction strip. The top strip should represent the whole number, and the bottom strip should represent its successor.

Divide fractions

Use fraction strips to create both the dividend and the divisor.

Understand fractions

Fraction strips help students understand that the same whole can be broken into different equal-sized parts. They can also help students understand that a denominator of eight will have smaller pieces than a denominator of three.
