LESSON 5 Circles, Fraction Strips, and Number Lines

Mr. Martin's class played Show That Fraction. They showed in five different ways on the board.

Emily wrote as a number and in words.

Jason said, “One-third is like the orange fraction circle piece,” and he drew the picture on the board.

  1. How does Jason's drawing show ?
  2. What do the denominator and the numerator in tell you?
  3. What is the unit whole?
  4. What other fraction circle pieces could Jason use to show ? How many would he use of each piece that you named?
