Description
I use these in math for students to practice modeling, and comparing fractions! With the strip models, students are able to compare two different fractions when stacked, or side by side. The circle models allow for students to represent their fractions and see the difference in how fractions can be modeled. The number lines are used to show students how to compare fractions by plotting their fractions on two number lines that are stacked on top of each other.
I typically use this as a guided practice when teaching students about different ways to model fractions.
