                                     LN – Fraction (Equal parts of a whole)



               Learning Objective– Students will be able to learn about fraction of a
               collection.


                     A fraction is represented by:

                                 Number of shaded parts


                                 Total number of equal parts



                      In 3/8:      3 is written above the line, which is called Numerator.

                                    8 is written below the line, which is called Denominator.


                     Finding fraction of a collection:

                   a) To find half of a collection, divide by 2.

                          a.  Example: ½ of 14 = 14 ÷ 2 =7

                                            Thus, ½ of 14 = 7

                   b) To find one-third of a collection, divide by 3.

                          a.  Example: 1/3 of 33 = 33 ÷ 3 =11
                              Thus, 1/3 of 33 = 11
