Teaching guide, sample answers and curriculum references
Before you begin
Recognize one whole divided into equal parts.
How to use this worksheet
- Model the target skill: understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts. Use the first task as a guided example before asking for an independent response.
- Check readiness first: Recognize one whole divided into equal parts.
- Discuss an incorrect response using this distinction: Count all equal parts for the denominator and shaded parts for the numerator; unequal parts do not support the same fraction model.
A common mistake to discuss
Count all equal parts for the denominator and shaded parts for the numerator; unequal parts do not support the same fraction model.
What to practice next
Draw another strip for the same fraction with a different number of equal pieces.
Sample question and answer
Look at the fraction model below. What fraction of the whole strip is shaded?
- A. 1/4
- B. 3/4
- C. 2/3
- D. 4/3
Answer: B. The strip is divided into 4 equal segments and 3 are shaded green. The fraction is 3/4.
