Modeling Fractions with Visual Models
Explore how fractions can be represented using number lines, area models, and circles. Compare how the same fraction appears across different visual models.
Putting It All Together
[i]Answer these open ended questions on your own or with others to form deeper math connections.[/i]
Describe how you would model the fraction [math]\frac{7}{12}[/math] using a rectangle.
Describe how the number line and the circle model are similar. How are they different?
Write the number 1 as a fraction three different ways.
Comparing Fractions with Unlike Denominators Using Models
Compare fractions with unlike denominators using visual models in this interactive activity.

Comparing fractions with the same denominator is easy. For example, comparing [math]\frac{3}{4}[/math] with [math]\frac{1}{4}[/math], we know that 3 parts out of 4 are greater than 1 part out of 4. Using a similar concept and without finding a common denominator, how would you compare fractions with the same numerators?
Writing Equivalent Fractions Based on a Model
Write equivalent fractions with a different denominator based on a visual model.
