Description

This image compares the numerical fraction 1/4 with a circular fraction model of the same value. The circular model is divided into four equal sectors, with one sector shaded. The shaded region represents the numerator (1), while the total number of sectors represents the denominator (4).

This comparison helps students connect the abstract numerical representation of fractions with a more concrete visual model. It reinforces the concept that the numerator represents the parts being considered, while the denominator represents the total number of equal parts.

Teachers can use this image to help students visualize fractions and understand the relationship between numerical fractions and their graphical representations.

Teacher's Script: "Look at how we can represent 1/4 as a circle. The circle is divided into four equal parts, and one part is shaded. How does this circular model help you understand what 1/4 means? Can you think of other ways we could represent 1/4?"
