In this lesson, you will learn how to partition (divide) into equal parts with equal areas.
In this lesson, you will learn how to explain any unit fraction (1/b) as one part of a whole divided into b equal parts.
Materials and Directions:
- Give each student a fraction (i.e. ¼, ½) and some colored squares (i.e. color tiles).
- Have students create their fraction as a fraction bar using the colored squares.
- Then have students explain their fraction using the characteristics of fractions (equal area, number of total squares (denominator), number of certain colored squares (numerator).
Considerations:
- Observe students making fraction bars.
- Do students have an understanding that fractions have equal areas?
- Do students recognize the characteristics of fractions?
- Explanations can be oral or in written form.
