Fractions
Step1: Left click a section of gold beads to set a denominator. Press Left Arrow Key  (PLA).
Step2: Left click a section of the displaced gold beads to set a numerator. Press Right Arrow Key (PRA). Note the fraction of gold beads is equal the colored fraction of the paper pie.
Fractions of a Whole
Step1: Left click a section of gold beads to set denominator. PLA.
Step2: Left click a brown bead in the diagonal column that is adjacent to the triangle of brown beads above the gold beads that remain against the right post. PLA. The displaced rectangle of brown beads is the whole and sets the factor that times the denominator produces the whole. Press down arrow for more steps!
Step3: Right click a section of gold beads from the displaced group to set the numerator. PRA. Note the number of dark rectangle slices of the paper pie, these equal the fraction of the whole and the number of brown beads in the rectangle above the displaced triangle. Note that the number of slices in the fraction of the whole over the total number of slices in the number pie makes a fraction equivalent to the initial fraction. 
Multiplication of Fractions
Step1: Left click section of gold beads to set first denominator. PLA. Left click another section of the gold beads that remain against the right post to set second denominator. PLA. The adjacent rectangle of brown beads equals the solution denominator.
Step2: Left click a section of the gold beads of the second denominator to set its numerator. PLA.  Note the colored rows of the paper pie representing the second fraction, and the equal number of displaced columns from the rectangle, representing an equivalent part of the solution denominator.
Step3: Counting from right to left, Left click a section of the gold beads against the left post equal the numerator of the second fraction. PRA. The displaced columns of the rectangle remain to the left. 
 Step4. Left click another section of the gold beads against the left post to set the numerator of the first denominator. PRA. Note the colored columns of the paper pie representing the first fraction, and the equal number of displaced columns from the rectangle, representing an equivalent piece of the part of the solution denominator prevoiusly displaced. The number of beads in this piece equal the dark colored rectangular slices of the paper pie and the solution numerator. Press down arrow for more steps! The solution to the multiplication of fraction problem in terms of paper pies can be formulated as a piece of a part of the whole pie divided by or compared to the whole pie. In other words, the numerator is equal the slices in the dark colored piece of the colored rows or in the piece of the part of the whole pie and  the denominator is equal the slices in the whole pie.
