The Fraction Bars Teacher's Guide contains complete teaching information for fraction. There are 4-6 steps for each of the following seven topics: basic concepts; equality; inequality; addition; subtraction; multiplication; and division. Each step or lesson is conveniently placed on two facing pages, and all program components such as worksheets, games and materials are referenced at the point-of-use in each step. Games for use with the Fraction Bars and Fraction Playing Cards are contained at the end of this guide. Also at the end of the Guide are black and white masters for reproducible materials and a sequence of activities relating fractions to decimals. |

Each set of 49 plastic washable Fraction Bars contains bars for halves with 2 equal parts (green); bars for thirds with 3 equal parts (yellow); bars for fourths with 4 equal parts (blue); bars for fifths with 5 equal parts (purple); bars for sixths with 6 equal parts (red); bars for tenths with 10 equal parts (white); and bars for twelfths with 12 equal parts (orange). Fraction Bars are used for the activities and games in the Teacher's Guide. Some teachers like to letter the backs of the bars, one deck with letter A, another deck with letter B, etc. to help in sorting the bars in case they become mixed. |

Each Fraction Bars Playing Card in this color-coded 49-card deck contains a fraction and its name which corresponds to one of the Fraction Bars. The colored numeral on the playing card indicates the number of shaded parts and the total number of parts in the corresponding bar and provides for a gradual transition from the Fraction Bars model to the use of fraction symbols. As with the decks of bars, it helps to letter the back of the cards for sorting purposes, one deck with letter A, another with B, etc. |

The Teacher Resource Package correlates directly with the seven sections in the Teacher's Guide. Each section of the package contains Reproducible Worksheets, Performance Objectives, and Performance Tests. An Achievement Test at the end of the worksheets provides evaluation of all seven sections of the program. This test can be used to determine placement in the program or as assessment once the worksheets and/or program are completed. |

There are 49 colored Fraction Bars Transparencies. There is a transparency corresponding to each plastic Fraction Bar. The transparencies can be used for teacher or student demonstrations of fraction equalities, inequalities, and the four basic operations on fractions. One method for organizing the transparencies for classroom demonstrations and storage is to form a Posterboard Holder. |
