Description

This image is another variation, now using fourths. It shows a circle divided into four equal parts, each labeled 1/4, with an equation showing 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1.

This representation continues to build on the previous examples, further reinforcing the concept that unit fractions add up to a whole, regardless of the denominator. It helps students see the pattern forming as the number of unit fractions increases.

Teachers can use this image to further extend students' understanding of adding unit fractions and to encourage them to predict what might happen with other denominators.

Teacher's Script: "Here we have fourths. Each part of the circle is 1/4. How many 1/4 pieces do we need to add together to make a whole? Can you write an equation to show this? What pattern do you notice as we move from halves to thirds to fourths?"
