Fraction Strips (Set of 50)

A class set of 50 colour-banded fraction strips, from 1 whole to 1/12, that students cut and line up to compare, order and add fractions.

How it works

1. Cut the strips along the colour bands
2. Line up the strips under the whole
3. Compare lengths to find fractions that are equal

What students learn

• Equal parts of a whole and their names
• Equivalent fractions such as 2/3 = 4/6
• Ordering and adding simple fractions

Try these activities

1. Find all the fractions equal to 1/2
2. Put 3/4, 2/3 and 5/6 in order
3. Show 1/3 + 1/6 using the strips
