LESSON 7 Workshop: Many Ways to Show a Fraction

Mrs. Dewey's class played Show That Fraction. They showed in five different ways on the board: number, words, drawing, fraction strip, and number line.

• 

Maya wrote as a number and in words.

John said, "One-fourth is like the yellow fraction circle piece," and he drew the picture on the board.

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