Wall, strips and circles
Switch between a fraction wall, separate strips and circle models so students see the same fraction in different representations.
Free maths tool
Fraction wall tool
A free interactive fraction wall for modelling equivalent fractions, comparing two fractions, fraction strips, circles, improper fractions and mixed numbers.
Compare two fractions
Use fraction A and fraction B to compare size, difference and sum while the model stays visible.
Equivalent fractions
Use make b equal and the equivalent fraction suggestions to connect different denominators to the same value.
Improper and mixed numbers
Add parts or whole amounts to show fractions beyond one whole and read the mixed number form.
What the tool does
The fraction wall tool gives teachers a quick visual workspace for comparing fractions and showing equivalent values without redrawing each model.
- show fractions as a wall, strips or circles
- compare fraction A and fraction B on the same screen
- change numerators, whole amounts and denominators
- use halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, sixths, eighths, tenths, twelfths and sixteenths
- show or hide labels while students reason about the model
How teachers use it
Open it on a projector or interactive whiteboard, choose a denominator, then ask students to explain what changed before naming the fraction.
- start with a wall when students need to compare parts against a whole
- switch to strips when comparing fraction A and fraction B directly
- use circles when students are connecting fractions to area models
- use random examples when students are ready for quick comparison talk
Why it is useful
Fractions become clearer when students can see the part, the whole and the relative size at the same time.
- supports equivalent fraction discussion
- makes improper fractions and mixed numbers visible
- works as a model before students move to independent fraction practice
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the fraction wall tool free?
Yes. Teachers, students and families can open the fraction wall tool in a browser for free.
What fraction models are included?
The tool includes a fraction wall, fraction strips and fraction circles, with labels that can be shown or hidden.
Can it show equivalent fractions?
Yes. You can compare two fractions, use make b equal, and view equivalent fraction suggestions for the selected value.
Does it record student work?
No. It is an open modelling tool, not a scored practice activity or student-tracking page.
