Fractions, by MLC vs Making Number Bonds

Fractions lets students use a bar or circle to represent, compare, and perform operations with fractions with denominators from 1 to 100. Choose the fraction model and number of equal parts. Use a color to select specific parts to show a fraction of the whole. Reveal or hide numeric labels as needed. Superimpose fractions upon each other to compare fractions or see equal parts. FEATURES • Use a bar or circle as the whole. • Divide each whole into anywhere from 1 to 100 equal parts. • Compare fractions and represent equivalent fractions. • Add, subtract, multiply, and divide with fractions. • Explore the relationship between fractions, percents, and decimals. • Select the size of the whole and the number of equal parts. • Hide and reveal fraction labels. • Hide and reveal work with resizable covers to create your own problems and model strategies. • Use the drawing tools to annotate work and show understanding. • Add equations, expressions, and descriptions with the math text and writing tools. • Share your work by saving an image or providing a share code to others.
