Visual-model rule: every bar/circle is split into equal parts. Compare answers are checked with exact cross-products; equal-value pairs can use different denominators.

Frequently asked questions

Which visual models are available?

Choose fraction bars, fraction circles, or a mix of both on the same worksheet.

Are all parts equal?

Yes. Every generated bar and circle is divided into mathematically equal parts before shading is applied.

What can students do with the models?

They can identify a shaded fraction, shade a named fraction, or compare two shaded models using <, >, or =.

Can equivalent fractions appear in comparison?

Yes. Some compare problems intentionally show equivalent values with different denominators.

Does the PDF keep the visual models?

Yes. Direct PDF export draws the bar/circle geometry as vector page content rather than replacing it with text-only placeholders.
