Take out S 58 and shade in 7/8 on the top left 4 x 6 array.
How can we decompose (break apart) 7/8 into smaller fractional parts that when combined equal 7/8? 1/8 1/8 1/4 1/8 3/4 1/8 1/4 2/8 5/8 1/2 1/8 1/4
What equations could we write to represent each of these ways of making 7/8? 1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8=7/8 3/4+1/8=7/8 1/4+1/4+1/8=7/8 5/8+2/8=7/8 1/2+1/4+1/8=7/8
Now that we have had some practice, try the problems on page 387. You might want to use 4 x 6 rectangles to help you.
Draw 5/6 on your 4 x 6 screen protector 1/6+1/6+1/6=5/6 1/6 3/6 2/6 3/6+2/6=5/6 1/6 2/6 1/6 1/6 2/6+2/6+1/6=5/6
What do you notice about these ways of decomposing 5/6? As you decomposed 5/6 what were you paying attention to?
