Key Concepts

Fraction

A fraction is a numerical quantity that represents a part of a whole, consisting of a numerator (the number of parts being considered) and a denominator (the total number of equal parts that make up the whole). This concept is fundamental for understanding ratios, proportions, and comparisons in various mathematical contexts.

Area Model

An area model is a visual representation used to illustrate fractions by dividing a shape (such as a rectangle or circle) into equal parts. When some of these parts are shaded, the fraction representing the shaded area corresponds to the number of shaded parts over the total number of parts. This visual approach helps in understanding how fractions relate to parts of a whole.
