Fraction Circles

Below are two virtual fraction circles.
  • To create different fractions, click on Toolbar Image. Click on the unit fraction you wish to use.
  • Click on the center of the circle and the edge of the circle to attach the unit fraction to the unit circle.
    • If you miss the edge, click on Toolbar Image. Click on the red point and then the edge of the circle to attach it.
  • To add more fraction parts, click on the center, then click on the black point of the unit fraction on the circle. This will attach your new unit fraction to your previous unit fraction.
  • Want to move your fraction representation around the circle? Click on Toolbar Image, then click and drag on the fraction's red point on the edge.
To compare two fractions
  1. Create one fraction on each circle.
  2. Using Toolbar Image, click and drag the center of one circle onto the other circle.
  3. Use the blue points to drag the fractions so that one edge aligns.
  4. Does one cover more area or does one take up more area?
