Virtual Manipulative- Fractions-Parts of A Whole gr. k-2

The virtual manipulative I experimented with this week is Fractions. This virtual manipulative is very good in introducing parts of a whole. You can divide the whole into however many pieces you would like and all you need to do is click on a piece of it and it identifies what part of a fraction it is. In addition, you can change the shape of the whole. (ex. circle, rectangle) The only thing I would do differently with this manipulative is have an option to give you examples of fractions and the student demonstrates it. Other than that I think it is a good visual manipulative on fractions.
