Fraction Track

A game I first saw at NCTM as [url=https://www.nctm.org/Classroom-Resources/Illuminations/Interactives/Fraction-Game/]a solitaire game[/url]. Then saw Theresa Wills demonstrate it on Google slides. ([url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nORUMu8hQUc&t=418s&ab_channel=TheresaWills]Video[/url], [url=https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/12p9RrO1Gf33DckINQfEuqMC-PhllXgYuyebcrf2Na9U/copy]templates[/url])[br][br]Suggested 2 team rules:[br]Each team pushes the FRAC button. Lesser fraction goes first, and that is their first move.[br]On your move, can move forward a point or combination of points the total fraction you got, but you have to move the total or pass. For example, if you got 1/2, you could move a point on the fourths 1/4 and a point on the twelfths 3/12, or you could move a point 1/2, 3/6 or 6/12 or... If you can't use the whole fraction, pass your turn.[br]If you land on an opponent, send them back to zero on that same line. [br]You can only have one point on a particular fraction line at a time.[br]If you get to 1, you score the point! Move it to a scoring box below.[br]Winner is the first to score 5 points.

Fraction Comparison

Watched this video about Dor Abrahamson, http://youtu.be/qZaZGL-vP5E, and he had a non-computational tool for students to construct some understanding about fractions. Thought I'd make a more accessible GeoGebra version and this is it.[br][br]Drag either the red circle or the blue circle to change the length of the bars. The sketch will tell you when you match the fraction set by the sliders.[br][br]See also http://www.geogebratube.org/material/show/id/21709 for a different approach to fraction estimation.

who helped you to understsnd this?
how can you solve?

Fraction Subtraction

Type two fractions on the right side and click the "Subtract" button on the left side. Explore a tape model that represents subtracting the two fractions. Click the "Reset" button to restart the animation of the model (click "Subtract" again).

Fraction Division

Quotative Division
[b]Quotative division[/b] involves taking a set of size a and forming groups of size b. The number of groups of this size that can be formed, c, is the quotient of a and b.
Partative Division
A [b]partitive division[/b] problem is one where you know the total number of groups, and you are trying to find the number of items in each group.
