Understanding Fraction Strips and Their Uses

The video tutorial explains how to use fraction strips to understand the relationship between whole numbers and unit fractions. It demonstrates how different fractions like halves, thirds, and sixths fit into a whole, providing a visual tool for better comprehension. The tutorial concludes with tips on using this resource effectively.

What is the primary purpose of using a fraction strip?
