Whole Numbers as Fractions Using Visual Models (Part 1)

The video tutorial explains fractions as parts of a whole using a pizza as an example. It demonstrates how cutting a pizza in half results in two equal parts, each represented as 1/2. The tutorial further explores the concept of a whole being represented as a fraction with a denominator of 1, where the numerator is also 1, resulting in the fraction 1/1.
