Abstract/Summary

This thesis is based on the article by Ann E. Watkins and William Watkins which was published in the Mathematical Teacher in 1980. In this study, some elementary properties of fractions are represented using a coordinatized geoboard model. Farey fractions and their basic properties are also discussed. Moreover, the researchers wrote a computer program that generates the elements of a Farey sequence.
