Bennett, Albert B., Jr.

Mathematics Teacher, v82 n4 p254-59,298 Apr 1989

A visual model of fractions, the tower of bars, is used to discover patterns. Examples include equalities, inequalities, sums of unit fractions, sums of differences, symmetry, and differences and products. Infinite sequences of numbers, infinite series, and concepts of limits can be introduced. (DC)
