## Description

Use Fraction Strips to represent, compare, order, and operate on fractions. Represent fractions  by dragging pieces from the fraction tower into the workspace. Pieces can be placed in a line to form a train. Manipulate the pieces and trains to compare and order fractions or to model fraction operations.

Mathematical Concepts:
Create visual representations that help explore mathematical thinking related to:
●	Understanding part-whole relationships
●	Representing, comparing and ordering fractions
●	Iterating a unit fraction by copying
●	Exploring the relationship between the number of equal partitions in a whole and the fractional unit (denominator)
●	Exploring equivalent fractions
●	Modelling operations with fractions
o	placing pieces beside or between each other, to combine fractions (addition)
o	removing pieces from trains (subtraction)
o	aligning trains to compare fractions with or without using comparison bars, including to find differences (subtraction)
o	copying strips or trains to model repeated addition (multiplication)

Features:

●	Build representations on an infinite workspace 
●	Drag the leftmost piece from a fraction strip in the fraction tower into the workspace to represent a unit fraction (one-half, one-third, etc.)
●	Drag a piece further along the strip into the workspace (the pieces to the left of it are automatically dragged with it) to represent fractions like two-fourths , five-fifths etc.
●	Create trains in which the pieces line up precisely
●	Align trains using the built-in snapping
●	Copy selected pieces or entire trains
●	Show/Hide labels on the fraction pieces
●	Zoom in on selected pieces, zoom out to see more of the workspace, zoom to fit to reorient the workspace so all fraction pieces are on the screen.
●	Show/Hide rulers underneath trains in the workspace
●	Show/Hide steppers to use different fractional units on the rulers
●	Customize the fraction tower: change the colour of pieces and which pieces are included in the tower
●	Reposition the fraction tower by dragging using the dark blue area at the top and use the double-arrow button to change its height
●	Identify equivalent fractions using the equivalence bar at the top of the tower.
●	Step through a history of your work with the undo/redo buttons
●	Communicate your thinking or highlight various features of your representation using the built-in annotation tool
●	Import pictures saved on your device.  Pictures can be selected, moved, resized, rotated and copied. 
●	Save your work and open previously saved files.
