Fractions---- A part of a whole (1)

A fraction is part of a whole.

For example, cut an apple into 2 equal parts. Each part is a fraction of the whole. Each part is half, i.e. one of the two equal parts.

What if I cut an orange into four equal parts--- what fraction will each part be?

1 over 4 or one quarter.

Try cutting paper or other items into many equal parts and then name each part.
Look at the size of the fraction and how it is written.
