Fraction strips help students to visualize and explore fraction relationships. They allow students to develop a concrete understanding of fractions and mixed numbers, investigate equivalency, compare and order fractions and explore number operations with fractions.
What is the use of fraction strips?
Fraction strips (or fraction bars or tiles) help students see that the same “whole” can be broken up into different equal-size parts. When students move the strips and put them side by side, they can visualize the fractional amounts.
How do you teach using fraction strips?
How to teach:
- Review dividing a whole number by a fraction. Ask students to place the 1 whole strip at the top of their desk.
- Explain how to use fraction strips to divide a fraction by a fraction.
- Move on to practicing more challenging problems.
- Continue to practice.

How many fourths are there in 2 whole strip?
4 fourths
2 complete sets of three-fourths can be made and 2 of the 3 pieces need to make \frac34 are left over, so we have another \frac23 of a three-fourths. and we can see that there are 2 wholes with 4 fourths in each whole, so there are 2\times 4 fourths in 2.
How are fraction strips used in real life?
Use these colorful fraction strips to model fraction relationships and solve mixed fraction problems. By moving the fraction bars onto the canvas, students can see the differences between various denominators and work with the concept of equivalent fractions.

What kind of securities are eligible for strips?
STRIPS are zero-coupon securities issued by brokerage firms and based on receipts for Treasury securities. Any Treasury issue with a maturity of 10 years or longer is eligible for the STRIPS process. Here is how the process works.

Which is an example of a factor in the product?
The numbers that we multiply are the factors of the product. Example : 3 × 5 = 15 therefore, 3 and 5 are the factors of 15. A factor divides a number completely without leaving any remainder. For example : 30 ÷ 6 = 5, and there is no remainder. So we can say that 5 and 6 are the factors of 30.
