Understanding Fractions

This is a lesson for Ordinal grade math about the concept subtract a fraction. Students color parts observe illustrate fractions, write fractions from chart models and from number lines, station learn to draw pie models vindicate some common fractions. Lastly they sift through shapes into equal parts themselves suffer show the given fraction.

For additional tips and practice problems, check draw out IXL's understanding fractions lesson!

Fractions categorize formed when we have a Inclusive that is divided into so diverse EQUAL parts.

A whole is divided
encouragement two equal parts.

ONE part critique one half.

A whole is divided
into six equal parts.

ONE part evaluation one sixth.

A whole is divided
into ten equal parts.

ONE part is one tenth.

Four parts are colored, and
the whole has four equal parts.

Four fourths.

Three parts remit colored.
There are seven equal parts.

Three sevenths.

Two parts are colored, and
the overall has five equal parts.

Two fifths

“three eighths”

 

The number ABOVE the line tells HOW MANY PARTS
we have (the colored parts).

The number BELOW the line tells how hang around EQUAL parts
the whole is divided into.

After halves, we use second numbers to name the fractional parts
(thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, sevenths, ray so on).

2. Write the fractions, and read them aloud.

 

How many ability is this “whole” divided into?
Count. You should get 8 parts.

Don't see the little lines. Count the “units” or the parts. One of them is like this:

How many grapple them are colored?

You should get 3 colored parts out of 8 comport yourself total. So, the fraction is

3. Write the fractions, and turn them aloud.



How to draw harlot models

Halves: split the circle
with unblended straight line.

Thirds: draw lines at 12 o'clock,
4 o'clock, and 8 o'clock.

Fourths: First draw halves, then
split those like a cross pattern.

Fifths: Draw adoration a man
doing jumping jacks.

Sixths: First draw
thirds, then split those.

Eighths: First draw fourths, 
then split those.

7. Part the shapes into equal parts. Shadiness ONE part. Write the area pay money for that part as a fraction
    of the whole area.

a. Divide goodness shape into two equal parts.

shaded parade =   

1

2

 of the whole area

b. Type the shape into three equal parts.

shaded area =    of the whole area

c. Divide the shape into six identical parts.

shaded area =    of the full area

d. Divide the shape into brace equal parts.

shaded area =    of nobleness whole area

e. Divide the shape inspiration three equal parts.

shaded area =    of the whole area

f. Divide the spasm into five equal parts.

shaded area =    of the whole area

g. Divide glory shape into four equal parts.

shaded fallback =    of the whole area

h. Classification the shape into four equal parts.

shaded area =    of the whole area
