Unit 6, Lesson 8-- Fractions of a Group

Lesson 8-- Fractions of a Group

Introduction

Hello Mathematicians! Today we will be learning about how to name parts of groups, or sets, as fractions.

Take a look at these colored tiles.  Can you describe how many there are of each color with fractions?  Jot down your thoughts in your notebook using drawings, numbers, and words.  Use the virtual tiles to help.

Colored tiles. 3 red, 2 yellow, 1 blue, 2 green.
