What is the purpose of using fraction strips and a 1 strip?

Question

taskmasters · Answer

Fraction strips are a very useful medium to teach a child about the fundamental theories of fraction. It is very tough for any child to grip fraction fundamentals initially, unless the fractions are broken down. 1 strip or a single strip often confuses the child. So fraction strips like ½, 1/3, 2/3 etc. are used for giving better explanation. When the strips are cut into such sizes and placed beside each other, then it becomes visually easy to see. Then the fundamentals of fractions can easily be explained.

The purpose of fraction strips, including the 1 strip, is to visualize fractions, understand their relative sizes, and grasp the rules for performing operations with them. ;

taskmasters · Answer

Fraction strips serve as a visual and tactile tool to help students understand fractions better. They allow for easy comparison of different fractions and demonstrate how smaller fractions can fit into a whole. This approach aids students in grasping the concepts of addition and subtraction of fractions effectively.
