Two triangles represent 1 whole unit:
1 trapezoid=
1 rhombus=
1 hexagon=
1 trapezoid= 1 1/2
1 rhombus= 1
1 hexagon= 3
If 1 hexagon and 1 rhombus = 2/4, then draw one whole unit
* circle a partition and identify the unit fraction
2 hexagons and 2 rhombi
Austin took 1/2 of Ally's Blocks and he has 2 rhombi, 2 triangles, and 1 hexagon. What blocks did Ally have before Austin stole from her?
4 rhombi, 4 triangles, and 2 hexagons or 24 triangles
There are 8 circles, 2 of which are shaded. What fractional part is shaded?
2/8 or 1/4
2 trapezoids represent 1 whole unit:
1 hexagon=
1 rhombus=
1 triangle=
1 hexagon= 1
1 rhombus= 2/6 or 1/3
1 triangle= 1/6
If 7 hearts equals 7/4, then draw one whole unit
* circle a partition and identify the unit fraction
4 hearts
Dez stole 4/5 of Trish's blocks and now has 1 trapezoid, 1 hexagon, 1 triangle, and 1 rhombus. What blocks did Trish have before Dez stole from her?
5 trapezoids or 2 trapezoid2, 1 hexagon, 1 traingle, and 1 rhombus
Show in at least two different ways using pictorial representations that the fractions 2/7 and 4/14 are equivalent.
Show visually
3 rhombi represent 1 whole unit:
2 triangles=
2 hexagons=
2 trapezoids=
2 triangles= 1/3
2 hexagons= 2
2 trapezoids= 1
If one rhombus equals 2/5, then draw one whole unit.
* circle a partition and identify the unit fraction
two trapezoids and half of another one
Larry stole some of Marie's blocks and now has 4/3 represented by 3 triangles, 1 trapezoid, and 1 rhombus. What blocks does Marie have?
6 triangles or 3 triangles and 1 trapezoid
Use your pattern blocks to represent 5/6 in two different ways.
Ex.
2 rhombi and 1 triangle (1 triangle= 1/6)
5 trapezoids (1 trapezoid = 1/6)
