Understanding Fractions and Their Models

The video tutorial explains how to model fractions using a fraction bar. It covers examples of one-sixth, five-sixths, three-sixths, and seven-sixths, demonstrating how to divide a unit into equal parts and shade the appropriate number of parts. The tutorial also discusses the concept of equivalent fractions, such as three-sixths being equal to one-half, and seven-sixths being equal to one and one-sixth.
