In Part 1, rectangle A shows 2 equal parts. What fraction is each part of the whole?
\frac{1}{2} -
-
What happens to the denominator of our fractions as the number of parts increases?
It gets bigger.
-
Look at rectangle C. The unit fraction is shaded. What is the numerator of any unit fraction?
1
-
-
Look at model E. Each rectangle is 1 whole. What fraction is each part of the model?
\frac{1}{6} -
-
In Part 2, which number line shows the whole number 4 correctly? Why?
C; it starts numbering at 0, there are four spaces between 0 and 4, and the lengths between the hash marks are spaced equally.
-
What is wrong with number line A?
The lengths between hash marks are not equal.
-
What is wrong with number line B?
Since there are 3 lengths from 0, the point labeled 4 actually represents the number 3.
-
On number line C, how many equal lengths are there from 0 to the point marked?
There are 4 equal lengths. This is why the point represents the number 4.
