Fraction Region Models, Set Models, and Linear Models
See how the same fraction can be shown as a shaded region, a group of objects, or a point on a number line.
What You'll Learn
Identify the whole in a region model and count how many equal parts are shaded to name the fraction \( \frac{3}{4} \)
Recognize a set model as a group of objects where the fraction compares shaded or chosen items to the total group size
Locate a fraction as a point on a number line by dividing the distance from 0 to 1 into equal segments
Compare region, set, and linear models to see that the same fraction can look very different depending on the model
Check that every part in a region or number-line model is equal in size before naming the fraction it represents
