Study Notes
Fractions and Division
- The shaded part of shape A represents a specific fraction depending on its portion of the whole.
- Point A on the number line corresponds to a specific fractional value, illustrating divisions of intervals.
- Sophie uses 16 beads; one fourth (1/4) of the beads are purple, resulting in 4 purple beads (16 x 1/4).
- A circle can be divided into equal parts by using the term "equal" to indicate symmetry in division.
Fraction Representation in Everyday Scenarios
- If only 2 pieces of cornbread remain after cutting, this represents a fraction of the whole pan left, calculated as 2 pieces total over the initial number of pieces.
- Michael's coat had a total of 9 buttons initially, as replacing 1/3 led to 3 buttons being replaced (3 x 3 = 9).
- Four teachers sharing 3 gallons of paint equally means each teacher receives 3/4 gallon (3 gallons ÷ 4 teachers).
Real-life Applications of Fractions
- Out of 6 sold fruit trees, 5 were apple trees, representing 5/6 of the total trees sold.
- Christina placed 15 vegetables on her tray, and if 1/5 were carrots, there would be 3 carrots (15 x 1/5).
- Maria gives 5 out of 8 tulip bulbs to her neighbor, illustrating the fraction 5/8 of her total bulbs.
Distance and Movement
- Lucy rode her bike 4 times around the block for a total of 1 mile; to ride 3/4 of a mile, she must circle the block 3 times (3/4 mile x 4 = 3 times).
