Counting Fractions to Make One Whole

The video tutorial explains fractions by breaking down wholes into equal parts. It covers the concept of numerators and denominators, demonstrating how fractions are counted using a circle divided into sixths. The tutorial also includes a problem-solving example with a candy bar, illustrating how giving away all parts results in giving away the whole. The video aims to help viewers understand how to count fractions and recognize when a fraction equals a whole.

What does the numerator in a fraction represent?

• The shape of the whole

• The total number of equal parts in the whole

• The number of parts we are considering

• The size of each part

If a circle is divided into 6 equal parts, what is each part called?

• A half

• A third

• A quarter

• A sixth

When all parts of a fraction are combined, what do they form?

• The original whole

• A larger fraction

• A new fraction

• A different shape

In the candy bar example, what happens if Sam gives away 3 thirds?

• He will have two pieces left

• He will have half of the candy bar left

• He will have no pieces left

• He will have one piece left

What is the denominator in a fraction?

• The shape of the whole

• The size of each part

• The total number of equal parts in the whole

• The number of parts we are considering
