Fraction Wall to Twelfths
A complete fraction wall starting with 1 whole and stepping down through halves, thirds, quarters, and on to twelfths, all equal length and aligned.
Equivalent Fractions Bars
Aligned fraction bars that make equivalence visible, showing one half lines up with two quarters and three sixths.
Blank Fraction Strips
A set of blank fraction strips with empty equal parts and no labels, ready to print, cut out, and label by hand.
Fraction Bars Halves to Tenths
A focused set of fraction bars covering halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, and tenths, each part shaded and labeled.
Printable Fraction Strips
A clean printable sheet of labeled fraction strips covering 1 whole through twelfths, sized for an A4 or letter page.
Comparing Fractions Bars
Two aligned fraction bars set up to compare sizes, showing how two thirds measures against three quarters.
What is a fraction bar generator?
A fraction bar generator is a tool that creates printable fraction models on demand. A fraction bar, also called a fraction strip, is a bar of fixed length divided into equal parts: one whole, halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, and so on through twelfths. When you stack these bars and align them, you build a fraction wall that lets students see how the parts relate. Instead of drawing each bar by hand, you describe the set you need, pick a style, and Figviz renders a clean, aligned diagram with every part labeled, ready to download and print.

How to make fraction bars with Figviz
Using fraction bars to teach equivalent fractions
Equivalent fractions are the place fraction bars shine. When you align a bar split into halves above a bar split into quarters, students can see that one half covers exactly the same length as two quarters. Stack a bar of sixths underneath and they can read off that one half also equals three sixths. Because every bar is the same total length, equivalence becomes a visual fact rather than a memorized rule. The same alignment makes comparing fractions easy: place two thirds next to three quarters and students can see at a glance which is larger, long before they learn to find a common denominator.
Classroom uses for fraction bars
Can I get a blank fraction bar template?
Yes. To generate a blank fraction bar template, describe the strips you want without labels, for example "blank fraction strips divided into 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 equal parts with no labels." Figviz will draw equal-length bars with empty parts and thin dividers, ready to print and cut out. Students can then label each part themselves or shade portions during guided practice, which builds deeper number sense than handing out a finished chart. Print on card stock so the strips hold up to repeated sorting and stacking.
