Some Fraction Thinking?!!

On a blank piece of white paper please answer the following.


1. Fractions are relations-- the size or amount of the whole matters.

2. Fractions may represent division with a quotient less than 1.

3. With unit fractions , the greater the denominator the smaller the piece is.

Ola David. Nice question. The second part of the statement mentioned something about amounts. think back to what we have been talking about subs. That is enough of a clue. Thanks for commenting.Remember to use the chat box but leaving a comment goes to my mail.

So do we just explain it on the paper we folded today in class or can we write as a comment?

Mr. H said...

I would love you to leave it as a comment but you need to do it on the piece of white paper right now. Sorry. We'll do more computer work later.
