Writing Unit Fractions with Numerators and Denominators

This video tutorial teaches how to write unit fractions by explaining the roles of the numerator and denominator. It covers the concept of unit fractions as equal parts of a whole, demonstrates how to write fractions using symbols, and highlights common mistakes to avoid. The tutorial uses practical examples with shapes like rectangles and circles to illustrate these concepts, ensuring a clear understanding of fraction writing.

What is a unit fraction?
