Description

This image is a variation of the previous one, showing that halves have 2 unit fractions, thirds have 3 unit fractions, fourths have 4 unit fractions, and fifths have 5 unit fractions. It displays circular fraction models for each, with all sections labeled to show the number of unit fractions that make up each whole.

This representation helps students understand the relationship between the denominator of a unit fraction and the number of those unit fractions needed to make a whole. It reinforces the concept that the denominator indicates how many equal parts the whole is divided into.

Teachers can use this image to discuss the relationship between unit fractions and their denominators, and to introduce the concept of building fractions from unit fractions.

Teacher's Script: "Let's look at these circles. For halves, how many 1/2 pieces make a whole? For thirds? Do you see a pattern? Can you explain why the number of unit fractions matches the denominator in each case?"
