Fraction Operation

Click on the radio buttons to go through the construction.

Answer the questions that appear. Be sure to pay attention to what "whole" each portion is part of and be prepared to discuss this as a class.

Also, label what #1-6 do for the construction.

Now that you have gone through this construction, create your own construction on a piece of graphing paper.

Use the same operation demonstrated in this construction.

Use color and make it clear which part is which. Create your drawing in a way that a class mate could answer questions regarding what you are showing.

(This construction could easily fit into any discussion on fraction operations. I would plan on using this particular applet during a Math 7 course in which we are learning the fraction operations. This fits with Objective 4 for this course in the Utah Core)
