While completing both the activities discussed above children are basically comparing different fractions and identifying their names. However, they also do additions of fractions to identifying fraction-name for the piece. Teachers can think of many other activities, allowing familiarity with different fractions and their relative sizes.
Children in higher grades can be taught to divide a line into as many parts as they like. Then they can choose strips of the length they prefer, and divide them further into equal number of two, three, and so on number of pieces, which could be used to prepare a fraction wall.
