In this activity, we will understand the concept of fractional numbers. Fractional numbers are numbers that can be expressed in the form [math]\frac{a}{b}[/math], where [math]a[/math] and [math]b[/math] are whole numbers and [math]b\ne0[/math]. The number of [math]a[/math] s called the numerator and the number of [math]b[/math] is called the denominator. To better understand the concept of fractions, let's try activity 1![br]The way to use this activity is:[list=1][*]In this activity, there are two choices of flat models that can represent fractions, namely circle and square models. You can choose the flat model that you want to see to represent fractions by clicking on the check box provided.[/*][*]Move the green slider to the left or right to choose the numerator in the fraction you want[/*][*]Move the pink slider left or right to select the denominator in the fraction you want.[/*][*]Next, the fraction representation of the numerator and denominator that you have chosen will appear on the available flat model and the fraction value. The number of shaded parts indicates the numerator value, while the whole part that appears on the model indicates the denominator value.[/*][/list]

In this activity, we will learn to convert ordinary fractions into mixed fractions. [br]The way to use this activity is:[list=1][*]Move the blue slider to the left or right to choose the denominator in the fraction you want [/*][*]Move the red slider to the left or right to choose the numerator in the fraction you want[/*][*]Next, the mixed fraction form of the fraction you choose will appear.[/*][/list]

In this activity, we will understand the concept of division of fractions. [br]Is it true that dividing a fraction is the same as multiplying a fraction by another fraction with the denominator and numerator reversed? To answer this, let's understand the following explanation first and then work on activity 3![br][br][b]Explanation:[/b][br]Suppose we have the following fraction division operation:[br][center][math]\frac{a}{b}\div\frac{c}{d}[/math][/center]Then, the fraction division rule states that this operation can be turned into multiplication by reversing the second fraction (using the reciprocal):[br][center][math]\frac{a}{b}\times\frac{d}{c}[/math][/center]Then, the result is:[br][center][math]\frac{a\times d}{b\times c}[/math][/center]This step simplifies the calculation and is the method used in division of fractions.[br][br]The way to use this activity is:[br] [b][br]Division of Fraction [br][/b][list=1][*]Choose the numerator and denominator you want by moving the slider to the left or right.[/*][*]Look at the result of the division of the fraction[/*][/list][b][br]Fraction Multiplication [/b] [br][list=1][*]After doing the fraction division activity, multiply the two fractions, but with the fractions reversed first between the numerator and denominator.[/*][*]Move the green slider to select the appropriate numerator and denominator for the first fraction.[/*][*]Move the pink slider to select the appropriate numerator and denominator for the second fraction.[/*][*]Summarize the results of your experiment![/*][/list]
