INSTRUCTIONS
Identify Fractions uses circles to demonstrate the meaning of numerator and denominator. The denominator tells the number of equal parts that make up a whole.
The numerator tells the number of equal parts. If you input 3 for the numerator and 4 for the denominator you will get a circle that is sectioned into 4 equal parts, 3 of them will be colored(chosen).
You can unput any fraction with a value less than 1. The denominator must be between 0 and 100. Press the <OK> button and the chosen fraction will appear.
Suggestions:
Demonstrate numerator with 3/5 and then 4/5. This will show that the fraction will increase in size as the numerator increases.
Demonstrate denominator with 3/5 and then 3/6. This will show that the fraction decreases in size as the denominator increases.
On the left is a <COLOR OFF> button. This button toggles with <COLOR ON>. Turning off the color turns off the red selected part of the circle. This will allow the learner to select the fraction.
The <EXPLAIN OFF> button toggles with <EXPLAIN ON> Explain will tell what the numerator and the denominator are. Explain off will allow the student to tell the fraction.
