- The activity involves creating a Christmas tree using paper strips, each labeled with a fraction.
- The base of the tree is a single strip labeled "1", representing the whole.
- Each subsequent row above the base is made of strips whose fractions add up to 1.
- For example, the row above the base has two strips labeled "1/2" each (1/2 + 1/2 = 1).
- The next row has three strips labeled "1/3" each (1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1).
- This pattern continues upwards: four "1/4" strips, five "1/5" strips, and so on, up to twelve "1/12" strips at the top.
- The star at the very top represents the completion of the tree.
- The purpose is to visually demonstrate that different sets of equal fractions can sum to one whole.
