Fraction Strips by mathies 2.0.1

Utilize Fraction Strips for illustrating, comparing, ordering, and performing operations with fractions. Represent fractions by selecting pieces from the fraction tower and placing them in the workspace. Arrange the pieces in a sequence to create a train. Experiment with manipulating the pieces and trains to compare and order fractions or to demonstrate fraction operations.

Mathematical Concepts:

Features:

• Create representations on an unlimited workspace.
• Select the leftmost piece from a fraction strip in the tower to represent a unit fraction (e.g., one-half, one-third).
• Distribute pieces further along the strip into the workspace to depict fractions like two-fourths, five-fifths, and so forth.
• Build aligned trains of pieces.
• Utilize built-in snapping to align trains accurately.
• Copy selected pieces or complete trains.
• Show or hide labels on the fraction pieces.
• Zoom in on specific pieces for detail, zoom out to view more of the workspace, or use zoom to fit to reorient all fraction pieces on-screen.
• Show or hide rulers beneath trains in the workspace.
• Show or hide steppers for using varying fractional units on the rulers.
• Customize the fraction tower: alter piece colors and determine which pieces are featured in the tower.
• Reposition the fraction tower by dragging from the dark blue area at the top and adjust its height with the double-arrow button.
• Distinguish equivalent fractions using the equivalence bar at the top of the tower.
• Navigate through your work history using undo/redo buttons.
• Annotate your representations internally to communicate ideas effectively or highlight various features.
• Import images saved on your device for integration. Images can be selected, moved, resized, rotated, and duplicated.Save your work and access previously saved files.
