Common Fractions

Mr. Added introduces a lesson on fractions using a pizza-sharing story. He explains how fractions represent parts of a whole, using examples like pencils, shoes, and octopus legs. The lesson covers the concepts of numerator and denominator, and how larger denominators mean smaller pieces. Practical applications in cooking and measuring are discussed, along with calculations for dividing numbers by fractions. Coach Socrates learns to choose fractions with smaller denominators for larger portions.
