whole and parts

How many different ways can you represent a whole? In a picture that represents six parts (two of which are shaded), learners are asked to label the parts appropriately to show how three different mathematical interpretations can be...

Students investigate fractions by completing fraction worksheets. In this parts of a whole lesson, students view geometric images of shapes and identify what half of these images would look like. Students complete fractional worksheets...

In this fractions lesson, youngsters review the meaning of one-half and are introduced to the concept of one-quarter. Early elementary learners divide a whole into four equal parts through guided instruction. They also learn how to...

Young mathematicians are introduced to fractions in a unit that helps them to understand parts of a whole.

Visual models support young mathematicians as they deepen their fractional number sense in this elementary math lesson. Using fraction circle manipulatives, children explore basic unit fractions as they develop the fundamental...

Who doesn't like birthday cake? Candles evenly proportioned on each piece of cake make a good model for whole-to-part math problems. Learners use repeated addition to add fractions with like denominators, breakdown whole pieces into...

This is the first in a 5-part series on multiplying whole numbers and applications. This is the most basic presentation, and helps students see the connection between repeated addition and multiplication. Sal shows how to rewrite...

Whole numbers are the natural numbers including zero. The instructor illustrates and explains place value. She draws a place value chart and then defines each term and what the numbers mean. She writes a number in standard form and then...

Learning how to visualize is an important step in the growth of young mathematicians. The first video in this two-part series helps learners develop this ability by using visual models to explain multiplication of fractions by whole...

Visual models are invaluable tools when teaching about fractions. Follow along as the instructor works through two examples, providing clear verbal and visual explanations of the steps for multiplying fractions by whole numbers. Young...
