Title: FRACTIONS
1FRACTIONS
2Lets draw a rectangle, and divide it in two
equal parts...
3- The red part of the rectangle represents a
fraction - 1/2 (one half)
4Now, lets draw a circle and divide it in two
equal parts...
5- The red part of the circle represents a fraction
- 1/2 (one half)
6Very Good!!! Now lets draw another rectangle and
divide it in three equal parts...
7- The red part of the rectangle represents another
fraction 1/3 (one third)
8 Very Good!!! Now lets draw a circle and divide
it in 4 equal parts...
9- The red part of the circle represents a fraction
- 1/4 (one fourth)
10Very Good!!! Now you know what a Fraction is
!!! Remember that in a fraction the number
below the line indicates the total number of
equal parts in which an object is divided
11and the number above the line indicates the
number of parts selected in that object...
12So, you can represent different fractions with
the same object For example, look at the
following object...
13Now see how this rectangle can be used to show
different fractions.
14If we select 1 part of this rectangle, What is
the fraction?
15If we select 1 part of this rectangle, What is
the fraction?
1 ----- 4
16If we select 2 parts of this rectangle, what is
the fraction?
17If we select 2 parts of this rectangle, what is
the fraction?
2 ------- 4
18If we select 3 parts of this object, what is
the fraction?
19If we select 3 parts of this object, what is
the fraction?
3 ------- 4
