🎉 Let's Match Fractions to Models! 🎉
Fractions are parts of a whole! Imagine you have a yummy pizza 🍕—if you cut it into
slices, each slice is a fraction of the whole pizza. Fun, right?
Step-by-Step Guide:
First comes the whole, then comes the parts. Parts make fractions
fun and easy!
Look at the shape: Is it a circle, square, or rectangle?
That’s your WHOLE!
Count the pieces: How many equal parts is the shape divided
into? These are called DENOMINATORS (the bottom number).
Find the shaded part: How many parts are shaded? This is
your NUMERATOR (the top number).
Match the fraction: Put the shaded parts over the total
parts. Voilà —you’ve got your fraction!
Let’s Try Together!
Imagine we have a circle đźź divided into 4 equal parts. If 2 parts are
shaded, what’s the fraction?
Total parts = 4 (DENOMINATOR)
Shaded parts = 2 (NUMERATOR)
Fraction = 2/4
So, 2/4 is the fraction that matches this model. Yay! 🎊
Tips for Superhero Parents 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️:
Use real-life objects: Cut fruits, cookies, or paper shapes into equal parts to
show fractions in action.
Make it playful: Draw colorful models and let kids shade them while counting
aloud.
Repeat, repeat, repeat: Say things like “Fractions are parts of a whole” often
so it sticks!
