Description

This image is a variation of the previous ones in the series, now using fifths. It shows a circle divided into five equal parts, each labeled 1/5, with an equation showing 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 = 1.

This representation continues the pattern established in the previous images, further reinforcing the concept that unit fractions add up to a whole, regardless of the denominator. It helps students solidify their understanding of the relationship between unit fractions and the whole.

Teachers can use this image to extend the exploration of adding unit fractions and to encourage students to generalize what they've learned to other denominators.

Teacher's Script: "Now we're looking at fifths. Each part of the circle is 1/5. How many 1/5 pieces do we need to add together to make a whole? Can you write an equation to show this? Based on what we've seen with halves, thirds, fourths, and now fifths, can you predict what would happen with sixths or sevenths?"
