FractionForge fraction workshop — kids slicing a pie into equal wedges, stacking fraction bars, and sliding a marker on a tick number line

Fraction Tools Slice pies and stack bars to build and compare fractions by hand. Number Line Slide a marker to place a fraction between the whole-number ticks. Tape Diagram Shade equal parts of a bar to picture a fraction of the whole. Word Problems Share a cake fairly and solve real fraction story problems.

✨ New — The Fair-Share Kitchen

Run a bakery for the cast! Every order is a fraction in disguise — Halver cuts, Gather combines same-size pieces, Stretch rescales, Dot plates a decimal, Equi shares fairly, and Rank wants the bigger slice (with proof).

The six tools

Fraction Workshop

Split a bar and a pie into equal parts and shade them to build any fraction.

Number Line

Slide a marker to place fractions in their exact spot between 0 and 1.

Operation Lab

Stack two bars at a common denominator to see adding and subtracting.

Decimal Bridge

Shade a hundred-square to link fractions, decimals, and percents.

Compare & Order

Line up two fractions and decide which is bigger.

Set Model

Shade some of a group of counters — a fraction of a set of things, not one whole cut up.

Choose a challenge

Each challenge is a short 10-question round. Grade bands are a guide, not a gate — play any of them.

Hands-on fraction tools

Three ways to build a fraction with your hands — pick the whole, model a real story, or take a fraction of a quantity.

Change the Whole Pick which Cuisenaire rod counts as "1" — then watch the same rod become a different fraction. The value depends on the whole. Story → Model → Answer Read a real-world story (pizza slices, marbles, a garden), shade a model that matches, and find the fraction. Fraction of a Quantity (Tape Diagram) Split a tape into equal parts and take some of them — the Singapore-math tape/strip model for finding a fraction of an amount (¾ of 20). Predict the Spot Guess where a fraction lands on a blank 0-to-1 line — then reveal the equal jumps and see how close your prediction was.

Same idea, another world

Something you practice here shows up somewhere else too — that's real learning that travels.

Splitting a whole into equal parts is the same proportional thinking behind ratios. The shared idea: proportional reasoning — a part compared to a whole is a ratio Try RatioRealm → A fraction is a part of a whole — the same way the chance of an event is the favorable outcomes out of all of them. The shared idea: part compared to a whole — a fraction is a part over a whole, exactly how a probability counts favorable outcomes over all of them Try ChanceForge → A fraction has its own spot on the number line — the same distance-along-the-line that places any whole number. The shared idea: the number line — a fraction sits at its own position between the whole numbers, the same distance-along-a-line that places any number Try NumberSense →
