Let’s go step by step to understand what the table is showing.
Each row has:
- A
Model (pictures of shapes)
- A
Fraction written below it
- A
Whole Number Equivalent — which means: “How many whole things do these pieces make?”
We are told: *“Each shape is one whole.”*
That means if you see 3 circles, and each circle is divided into 4 parts, then each circle = 1 whole → so 3 circles = 3 wholes.
But wait — look at the first row:
🔹 Model: 3 blue circles, each split into 4 equal parts → that’s 3 × 4 = 12 small pieces total.
🔹 Fraction: 12/4 → meaning 12 pieces, where 4 pieces make 1 whole.
🔹 Whole Number Equivalent: 12 ÷ 4 = 3 → correct!
Second row:
🔹 Model: 2 red pentagons, each split into 5 triangles → 2 × 5 = 10 small pieces.
🔹 Fraction: 10/5 → 10 pieces, 5 per whole → 10 ÷ 5 = 2 → correct!
Third row:
🔹 Model: 4 pizzas → each pizza is 1 whole.
🔹 Fraction: 4/1 → 4 pieces, 1 piece = 1 whole → 4 ÷ 1 = 4 → correct!
Fourth row:
🔹 Model: 1 green rectangle split into 2 equal parts → so 2 small pieces.
🔹 Fraction: 2/2 → 2 pieces, 2 pieces = 1 whole → 2 ÷ 2 = 1 → correct!
✔ All rows are already filled in correctly! The student doesn’t need to solve anything new — they just need to write down what’s shown on their dry-erase board.
So for each model, the fraction and whole number equivalent are already given and accurate.
Final Answer:
The table is complete and correct as shown. For each model:
- First row: Fraction = 12/4, Whole Number = 3
- Second row: Fraction = 10/5, Whole Number = 2
- Third row: Fraction = 4/1, Whole Number = 4
- Fourth row: Fraction = 2/2, Whole Number = 1
No changes needed — all answers match the models.
