Unit Fractions

The video tutorial explains the concept of unit fractions using a pizza machine as an example. Nicole works at a pizza restaurant where she handles pizza slices from a circular machine divided into eight slots. Each slice represents a unit fraction of 1/8. The tutorial demonstrates how to count these unit fractions and how they form a whole. It further illustrates how to break down fractions into unit fractions, using the example of removing four slices to show the remaining fraction. The lesson concludes with a recap of the unit fraction concept.
