| Description: |
This problem allows students to investigate the properties of fractions. The applet allows a visual representations of basic properties of fractions, and makes it easier to see things like the fact that a smaller numerator makes the fraction smaller, but a smaller denominator makes the fraction bigger. The problem also illustrates how fractions can be used to scale a set amount, and the data table displays that scaling. This also illustrates conversion between fractions and decimals. |
