F1 · Sharing Fairly: Division Becomes a Fraction

Learning goal

“I can name a fair share as a fraction, and switch between a sharing story, a division, and a fraction — in both directions.”

Equal share — every person gets exactly the same amount.
Numerator — the number of parts being considered (here: the amount being shared).
Denominator — the number of equal parts that make one whole (here: the number sharing).
Quotient — the result of a division. In this lesson the quotient is a fraction.
