Use the reference models for a teacher-led demonstration. Name the whole, point to equal parts and describe the amount being discussed. This teaching aid has no predetermined set of scored responses.

Download the practice pages alone, or include a separate answer key or teacher model. Longer activities may use more than one page.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Explain a fraction by identifying one whole, the number of equal parts and the number of parts being considered.

Worked example

A bar representing one whole has three equal sections. What does two of those sections represent?

Two-thirds, written 2/3.

The denominator 3 names the number of equal parts in the whole. The numerator 2 counts the selected parts. The remaining section is 1/3 of that same whole.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Align equal-sized wholes before comparing their partitions.
  • Ask learners to name one part before combining several parts.
  • Use the reference to revisit foundational ideas in Grade 4; selecting a model does not establish readiness for fraction arithmetic.
