Subtracting Fractions of a Set with Like Denominators: Labeling Sets of Objects

The video tutorial explains how to understand and work with fractions of a set using like denominators. It covers the basic concepts of fractions, including numerators and denominators, and demonstrates how to label and subtract fractions using sets of objects like Jelly beans, eggs, and birds. The tutorial emphasizes that the denominator remains unchanged even when parts of the set are removed, and provides practical examples to illustrate these concepts.

What is the role of the numerator in a fraction?

• It shows the number of equal parts being considered.

• It represents the size of each part.

• It indicates the total number of parts in the whole.

• It determines the shape of the fraction.

If you start with 6 eggs and use 2 for cooking, what fraction of the eggs is left?

• 1/6

• 2/6

• 4/6

• 6/6

Why does the denominator remain unchanged when parts of a set are removed?

• Because the total number of parts in the original set does not change.

• Because the set becomes a new whole.

• Because the numerator changes instead.

• Because the parts removed are not counted.

In a set of 3 birds, if 2 fly away, what fraction of the birds is left?

• 3/3

• 2/3

• 0/3

• 1/3

What does the denominator in a fraction represent?

• The number of parts being considered.

• The size of each part.

• The total number of parts that make up the whole.

• The number of parts removed.
