Description

This image presents a variation of the previous concept, now using rectangular models to show proper fractions: 1/3, 4/6, 4/9, and 7/12. It displays four rectangles, each divided into the appropriate number of sections with the corresponding number of sections shaded to represent each fraction.

This visual representation helps students see proper fractions in a different model, reinforcing that proper fractions represent less than one whole regardless of the visual representation used. It also introduces fractions with larger numerators and denominators, expanding students' understanding of proper fractions.

Teachers can use this image to discuss proper fractions using a different model, compare rectangular and circular representations, and explore fractions with larger numbers.

Teacher's Script: "Now we're looking at rectangular models for 1/3, 4/6, 4/9, and 7/12. How do these compare to the circular models we saw earlier? Can you explain why each of these is a proper fraction? Notice how even with larger numbers like in 7/12, it's still a proper fraction. Why is that?"
