Exploring Common Fractions: Halves in 4th Grade Math

The video tutorial explains the equivalence of the decimal 0.5 and the fraction one-half. It demonstrates this concept using a number line and a fraction model. The number line shows that 0.5 and one-half occupy the same position, while the fraction model illustrates that both cover the same area. These visual methods confirm that 0.5 and one-half are equal.

What does 0.5 equate to in fraction form?

• One fourth

• One half

• One third

• One fifth

How many equal parts is the number line divided into for this demonstration?

• 12 parts

• 10 parts

• 5 parts

• 15 parts

What place value does the digit 5 occupy in the decimal 0.5?

• Thousandths place

• Tenths place

• Hundredths place

• Ones place

What fraction represents the same value as 0.5 on the number line?

• Four tenths

• Five tenths

• Three tenths

• Six tenths

How is 0.5 represented on a number line?

• As three quarters

• As one quarter

• As one third

• As one half

What does shading one half of a rectangle demonstrate?

• Equivalence to three tenths

• Equivalence to six tenths

• Equivalence to five tenths

• Equivalence to four tenths

How many parts do we divide the rectangle into to show five tenths?

• 5 parts

• 20 parts

• 10 parts

• 15 parts

What is the purpose of dividing a rectangle into tenths in the fraction model?

• To show equivalence to one half

• To show equivalence to one third

• To show equivalence to three quarters

• To show equivalence to one fourth

What does shading five tenths of a rectangle illustrate?

• Equivalence to three quarters

• Equivalence to one half

• Equivalence to one fourth

• Equivalence to one third

Which two methods were used to show that 0.5 is equal to one half?

• Number line and fraction model

• Bar graph and fraction model

• Number line and pie chart

• Pie chart and bar graph
