Types Of Fractions Explained Visually
An animation classifies fractions using colored bar and circle models: like and unlike fractions (same or different denominators), proper and improper fractions (value less than or greater than one), equivalent fractions (same value, different form), and mixed numbers (whole plus fraction). Each type is shown side by side so students can compare shapes and sizes directly. Useful for elementary and middle school teachers introducing fraction vocabulary before moving into addition and comparison of fractions.
