Lessons72 & 73 : Fraction as a part of whole.

* Sara has a big chocolate bar . Ahmed and Mohamed asked her
to divide it equally between them .
How many parts will each one take?.

She will divide one whole into 2 equal parts.

1 whole
So,1whole = 2 halves.
1 1
Ahmed will take one half of the chocolate bar. 2 2
Mohamed will take one half of the chocolate bar.

* If Layla came afterwards , then Sara needs to divide the

chocolate bar equally among her three
friends .
How many parts will each one take?.

She will divide 1 whole into 3 equal parts.

So,1whole = 3 thirds. 1 whole

Dividing fraction strips in two steps :

1. Khaled has a piece of candy . If he cut it into thirds , then he cut each third
into halves again ,to share it equally among his friends ,draw fractions strips
to find the number of friends he shared the candies with. 1 whole
Answer
1 1 1
 We represent 1 whole as 3 third . 3 3 3
 We divide each third into 2 halves.
 Each third has 2 equal parts ,then we had 6 equal parts. 1 1 1 1 1 1
 So, 1 whole = 3 thirds = 6 sixths. 6 6 6 6 6 6

2. At Dina’s birthday party , her mother backed a big

chocolate cake .She cut it into 4 equal parts ,then she cut each part into 2
halves again.

The 2 of the red apples is greater than the 2 of the green apples
even if they are both one-half because the two wholes are
different .

 Nour likes to eat apple pies. She found 2 apple pies but different in
size . which one should she choose the big or the small one?.

 On the first day Joulia picked 8 mangoes and put them in a basket .

Lessons 78 , 79 , & 80 : The relation between fraction and division .

A baker wants to divide 16 olives equally on4 fourths of pizza .

How many olives does he need to put on each fourth?.

He can put 4 olives on each fourth.

How can we divide a set of objects in different ways?

A teacher wants to divide 24 pens in different ways:
24 ÷ 6 = 4 pens 24 ÷ 4 = 6 pens 24 ÷ 3 = 8 pens 24 ÷ 2 = 12 pens
1 1 1 1
So, of 24 = 4 So, of 24 = 6 So, of 24 = 8 So, of 24 = 12
6 4 3 2

We notice that:
The set of objects can be divided into groups using different ways.

 Jana wants to divide 12 chocolate bars among her friends , find the share of
each of her friends if she has 4 friends.

….…….. ÷ ………. = ……….. chocolate bars.
