Equivalent Fraction Bars – Interactive Fraction Comparison Tool
This interactive fraction bar tool helps students visually understand and compare fractions. Two fractions are stacked vertically, each showing the written fraction on the left and a corresponding bar model on the right. Students can adjust the numerator and denominator (up to 24) to see how each fraction changes instantly.
What Students Can Explore
- Adjust numerators and denominators to generate endless fraction combinations
- See fraction bars update in real time as values change
- Compare fractions with unlike denominators using clear visual models
- Experiment with equivalence by creating matching bar lengths
Immediate Visual Feedback
When the two fractions are equivalent, both bars turn green, giving students a clear and immediate confirmation of a perfect match.
