Why teach with fraction tiles and number lines?

Fraction tiles and number lines provide students with visual tools to support their understanding of fraction concepts. In this course you will learn how to use physical or virtual fraction tiles to model a variety of fraction concepts with students. Throughout, you will learn how to make the connection between the fraction tile manipulatives and the number line.

In this two-hour course you will learn how these fraction manipulatives can be used to reinforce key concepts:

• Equivalent Fractions

• Fraction Comparison

• Adding and Subtracting Fractions

The course combines videos and activities using hands-on or virtual manipulatives. In addition, free activities are included that you can use right away!
