Fraction concept intro with a circle
Test your understanding of fraction circle concept intro by practicing it! Work through the below exercises to use it in practice.
🎙️
Let's use a fraction to describe how much of this circle is shaded
🎙️
We can see that 1 part of the circle is shaded
🎙️
And with parts of that size, it would take 3 of them to make a full circle
🎙️
And that's all a fraction is. How many parts you have, compared to how many parts of that size you would need to make a whole.
🎙️
So we have 1 out of 3 parts of a whole circle that is shaded. So, one third of the circle is shaded.
