Using Strip Diagrams to Represent Fractions
Using Strip Diagrams to Represent Fractions, Examples 1:

Step 1: Count the parts of the strip model to know it is divided into 6 identical parts. Each part is \(\frac{1}{6}\) of the whole fraction bar.
Step 2: 3 parts of the fraction are \(\frac{3}{6}\). So, shade 3 parts of the whole.

Using Strip Diagrams to Represent Fractions, Examples 2:
Shade 2 parts of the fraction bar and write what fraction it represents.
