This interactive tool is designed to help students visualize fractions and its relationship to decimal numbers and percents using models. Use the first slider to adjust the parts of the whole model and the second slider to adjust the number of parts shaded and see how they alter the representations and models. Explore and visualize fractions and its relationship to decimal numbers and percents. Click on the link to explore and practice. (Insert link)<br />Fraction models are important for gaining a conceptual understanding of fractions. Fraction sets, whether rectangular or circular, can be used to help students understand that fractions are pieces of a whole, compare fractions, produce equal fractions up to 100, and investigate fraction operations. The circular and rectangular models emphasize the part-whole idea of fractions and the sense of the relative size of a part to the whole. Use the first slider to adjust the parts of the whole model and the second slider to adjust the number of parts shaded and see how they alter the representations and models.
