Fractions

We touched base in class about fractions and three models of fractions; which are Part to whole, Division, and Ratio. Fractions is pretty much a part of a portion of a WHOLE. When there are many examples to show fractions and how they are represented.
Typically Fractions are represented in a fway like this (1/2) making the number 1 a numerator, and the bottom number 2 the denominator. The Part to whole concept is one that we are all used to seeing 




Division Concept
Sharing concept
Ratio Concept

    I like the division and sharing illustration and the ratio concept illistration. Some people are truly visual learners and sometimes I think I fall into that category. So these are some great tools, Thanks
