Fraction Model

Fraction Model

Fraction model items will require students to design pictorial models of fractions. Fraction model items may be found on the STAAR 3-5 math tests. Given a problem, the student will need to indicate the total number of sections for their pictorial model (the denominator) and the number of those sections that must be shaded (the numerator) to represent the fraction. Students could also be given a shape divided into the appropriate number of sections and asked to click on sections to shade them and represent the numerator.
