Math
- Sakina learned that fractions can represent the same value as a whole number, such as 1/1 = 1 or 2/2 = 2.
- She practiced identifying fractions that are equivalent to whole numbers, for example, 3/3 is equivalent to the whole number 1.
- Sakina learned to simplify fractions when the numerator and denominator are the same, like 4/4 = 1.
- She practiced converting whole numbers into fractions by placing the number over 1, such as 5 = 5/1.
To further develop the understanding of fractions equivalent to whole numbers, Sakina can explore real-life examples. For example, she can find recipes that use whole numbers as fractions, like 1 cup of flour is the same as 1/1 cup. She can also create visual representations of whole numbers as fractions using manipulatives or drawings.
