What is the whole?

Make a fair paper patch. How do you know its parts are equal?

Choose one:

Make a notice patch: Choose two or four equal parts.
Spot the unfair split: Does four pieces mean four quarters?
Same fraction, different whole: Could both be halves?

MODEL: four equal sections make one paper panel. One is 1/4; three more complete it.

Try a different idea of your own. Name its whole or data unit. Show one reason or check. Empty fraction guide · complete paper/words route

Use blank paper or your usual communication; pictures are optional. Ask a wanted helper to read, describe or write your words. You can direct a helper's hands, take a break, keep your work private or finish here.
