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

working with fractions

When working with fractions you are pretty much dealing with a WHOLE . A fraction is an ordered pair of integer a&b, with b=/= 0, written a/b , the integer a is known as the numerator and the integer b is known as the denominator.

There are several models in which we can use to teach students how to find the answer to a problem dealing with integers. Such as Part to whole concept using the circle on the bottom as an example, whats the fraction of the figure shaded? 2/4 are shaded, that can be worked down to 1/2 of the circle being shaded.
