The best way to scaffold a grade 2 class to understand the topics such as unitary fractions, fractions in diagrammatic form, write fractions as 1 half is by first explaining the definition then real life application including physical representation.
What is fraction?
A fraction is a portion of a whole or, more roughly, any number of equal pieces. The word fraction comes from the Latin word fractus, which meaning "broken." When expressed in common English, a fraction, such as one-half, eight-fifths, or three-quarters, specifies the number of components of a specific size. A common, vulgar, or simple fraction is one with a non-zero denominator that is displayed below (or after) the line on which the numerator is displayed. Examples of these fractions include 1/2 and 14/3. The uncommon fractions that use numerators and denominators are difficult fractions, compound fractions, and mixed numeral fractions.
Definition or explanation of the topics given in the question:
<u>Unitary fractions</u><u> or </u><u>Unit fractions</u>: A fraction with the number one in the numerator is known as a unit fraction in mathematics. Of all the equally sized portions of the whole, it symbolizes one shaded part. "Unit" refers to one.
For instance, 1/4 is the numerical representation of a pizza that has been divided into 4 equal portions, each of which is being consumed by one individual similarly if it got divided between 2 people it is represented as 1/2.
<u>Recognize</u><u> fractions</u><u> in diagrammatic form</u>: This could be done by showing the diagrams which contain boxes of two different colors which represents the numerator and denominator.
<u>Write </u><u>fractions </u><u>as 1 half</u>: The 1 half fractions are the fractions in which the denominator is twice the the numerator. That is any fraction in the form n\2n where, n = 1, 2, 3, 4.... is the 1 half fraction.
