FractionPocket reference cards
Two cards at exactly bank-card size, so they print ready to cut and live in a wallet, a toolbox lid or a pencil case. Print at 100% scale — never “fit to page” — and check a card against one in your wallet before cutting.
Two cards, true size, with cut lines.
Cutting them out
- Print at 100%. “Fit to page” shrinks by a few percent, which is invisible on paper and fatal to a card meant to fit a wallet slot.
- Cut on the dashed line. It is the card's true outline — 85.60 × 53.98 mm, the ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 size a bank card uses.
- Card stock helps. Plain paper works; anything heavier survives a toolbox. A strip of packing tape either side makes it waterproof.
Common questions
- How do I print these at the right size?
- Set the print dialog to 100% scale, not “fit to page”. The cards are drawn at 85.60 × 53.98 mm — the exact dimensions of a bank card — so you can check the result against any card in your wallet before you cut.
- Why are the millimetre values rounded here?
- Only for space: the card shows two decimal places, so 1/16″ prints as 1.59 mm rather than its exact 1.5875 mm. The full-precision values are on the fraction–metric chart, and every number here was rounded from the exact one.
- What is on each card?
- The shop card carries the sixteenths with decimals and millimetres, for the bench and the toolbox. The school card carries the sixteen everyday fractions with decimals and percentages, for a pencil case or a lanyard.
