7. Pick up one fraction strip. Fold it in HALF on the SHORT LINE of symmetry. Thumbs up when you’re done. How many equal parts do you have to the make the WHOLE fraction strip. TWO What fraction of the whole is 1 part. 1 Half Draw a line to show where you folded your paper. Write the name of the fraction on each equal part. ½ (one half)

20. 1. There are ____________ equal parts in all. 2. 1 equal part is called ____________________. 1 tenth 10

21. Look at your set of fraction strips. Imagine they are pieces of delicious pasta. Raise the strip in the air that best shows how to cut 1 piece of pasta into equal parts with your fork.

22. Look at your fraction strips. Imagine they are lengths of ribbon. Raise the strip in the air that best shows how to divide the ribbon into 3 equal parts.

23. Look at your fraction strips. Imagine they are candy bars. Which best shows how to share your candy bar fairly with 1 person? Which shows how to share your half fairly with 3 people? Look at your fraction strips. Imagine they are candy bars. Which best shows how to share your candy bar fairly with 1 person? Which shows how to share your half fairly with 3 people?
