Understanding Fractions through Partitioning and Sharing

This video tutorial teaches how to describe fractions by counting shares. It explains partitioning shapes into equal parts, writing numerators and denominators, and understanding unit fractions. The tutorial covers how to describe shaded fractions, read and write multiple unit fractions, and compare fractions with different denominators. It concludes with a practical example of a dog eating a fraction of a bone.
