This resource allows students to virtually manipulate a set of fractions tiles. In secondary education there is a strong focus on fractions and the relationships between fractions. Students are asked to find equivalent fractions, common factors, etc. Using an applet that provides students with fraction tiles is beneficial in that it offers students a chance visual for the fractions they are working with. Being able to see that four 1/4s equal one whole is an important step in the understanding of how fractions work and are related.
