Help a girl to throw her ball through a hoop. Build two fractions to make a total of one whole. Complete the denominator of a fraction (at least one fraction may have a fixed numerator). For example, work out how many tenths can be added to three-fifths to total one whole. Look at fraction bars and a number line to compare the two fractions and their total. This learning object is one in a series of seven objects.
Objective
1. Students explore the effect of changing the numerator and denominator on the type and size of a fraction.
2. Students identify pairs of fractions that add up to one whole.
3. Students find equivalent fractions.
