Fraction Basics Introduction
Help a food truck prepare and share its snacks. Fractions describe equal parts of one whole. For each fraction, the numerator is the top number and tells how many parts are counted; the denominator is the bottom number and tells how many equal parts make the whole.
Plan the Snack Trays
Use the fraction bar to think about equal-sized parts.
1.A snack tray is divided into 8 equal sections. The chef fills 3 sections with fruit. What fraction of the tray is filled with fruit?
2.In 5/6, which number is the numerator, and what does it tell you?
3.The truck divides a pan of cornbread into 4 equal pieces. Which fraction names one piece?
- 1/4
- 4/1
- 1/3
- 3/4
4.A lemonade pitcher is 3/5 full. What does the denominator 5 tell us?
- There are 5 equal parts in the whole pitcher
- The pitcher holds 5 gallons
- There are 5 pitchers
- Three parts are empty
Share and Compare
Show your thinking with models and number lines.
5.Shade 2/4 of the bar. Then write a fraction with a different numerator and denominator that names the same amount.
6.Place 1/4 on the number line from 0 to 1. The line is divided into four equal steps.
7.A tray has 6 equal brownie squares. Two are plain and the rest have walnuts. What fraction have walnuts?
8.Choose every fraction equivalent to 1/2: 2/4, 1/4, 3/6, 4/8.
- 2/4 only
- 1/4 only
- 2/4, 3/6, and 4/8
- All four fractions
9.A customer eats 3 of 8 equal slices of a veggie pizza. What fraction of the pizza remains?
10.Chloe says 2/3 is smaller than 1/2 because 2 is smaller than 3. Is Chloe correct? Explain using equal-sized parts.
11.Create a food-truck story using a fraction with denominator 10. State what the numerator and denominator mean in your story.
