Fractions - Find a quarter - Presentation

The concept of fractions can be quite abstract for learners, but "Find a quarter" simplifies this by focusing on one specific fraction – one quarter. During the presentation, the concept of a quarter is introduced as one of four equal parts of a whole. The visual and interactive elements of the presentation are designed to help students clearly visualise and understand what it means to divide something into four equal sections. Through various examples and representations, such as dividing shapes or sets of objects, learners are guided to identify and select one quarter of different wholes.

Throughout the presentation, the emphasis is on practical application and visual learning. Students are likely to encounter a range of activities that reinforce their ability to recognise and find a quarter in various contexts. This could include interactive tasks where they might shade a quarter of a given shape or distribute items into groups to ensure each group represents a quarter of the total. The presentation aims to build a solid foundation in understanding and working with the fraction one quarter, which is essential for grasping more complex concepts in mathematics related to parts of a whole.
