Description: Fractions fun is a great series of slides to help understand fractions and to show shapes or objects can be broken down into equal parts. Each slide depicts 3 symmetrical shapes broken into equal parts. All the student has to do is to identify how many parts of the shape are colored in and how many parts there are altogether, thus arriving at the correct fraction that each shape represents. Initially, the numerator is blank and the denominator is given, so only the numerator has to be filled in. As the student progresses through the slides, some of the denominators will be blank and some of the numerators will need to be filled in, etc. Eventually, combinations of the denominator and numerators are randomly blank. In the later slides, both the denominators & numerators are all blank and all need to be filled in. As such, the slides start of simple but become progressively more challenging. All responses are numerical. The 3 shapes per slide are divided equally into 2 parts, 3 parts, 4 parts, etc., up to 20 parts.
