Every strip is the same length, so pieces that line up are equal — try the equivalents buttons to see 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = 6/12.

Frequently asked questions

What is a fraction wall?
A fraction wall (or fraction strips) stacks equal-length bars split into halves, thirds, fourths, and so on. Because every bar is the same total length, kids can see how the pieces compare — for example that two fourths line up exactly with one half.
How do you find equivalent fractions on a fraction wall?
Line up the ends of two runs of pieces. If they stop at the same point, the fractions are equal. One half, two fourths, three sixths, and six twelfths all reach the middle, so they are equivalent. Use the highlight buttons to light them up.
Is this fraction wall free to print?
Yes. Print or download it free for home or classroom use — no account needed. Toggle the labels off to quiz students on naming each piece.
