Abstract
Virtual manipulatives are a supportive tool to teaching fractions in a remote setting, as screens can be shared and problems can be explored as a class. For students who are new to dividing fractions, online, virtual two-sided chips are an adaptable tool used to facilitate student learning as they visualize the meaning of division using the set model to divide fractions. Preservice teachers explore the concept of dividing fractions using the virtual set model, moving beyond the traditional algorithm and the area model.
