A fraction bar (or fraction strip) is a rectangle divided into equal columns. It lines fractions up side by side, which makes it the best model for comparing sizes later. The denominator is the number of columns; the numerator is how many are shaded.
Quick way to teach it: Fraction bars are perfect for seeing that 1/2 and 2/4 cover the same length. Start by just naming the shaded fraction; once that's solid, line two bars up to compare them.

This is usually taught in Grade 2 & Grade 3. A fraction bar (or fraction strip) is a rectangle divided into equal columns. It lines fractions up side by side, which makes it the best model for comparing sizes later. The denominator is the number of columns; the numerator is how many are shaded.
The bottom number — the denominator — is how many equal parts the whole is divided into. The top number — the numerator — is how many of those parts are shaded or counted. So 3/4 means three of four equal parts. The parts must be equal in size for it to be a fraction.
