MATHEMATICS LESSON NOTES - JANUARY 2017

UNIT 8 - FRACTION

THEME : COMMUNICATION

A Fraction is used to name a part of a whole thing or a part of a group (collection).

Wholes and fractions

Whole Whole is divided into two equal parts.

We write it as 1/2

Parts of a whole or parts of a collection or group are fractions.

Equal and unequal parts

Equal parts:

When all the parts of a whole or collection are equal, we say that each part is equal.

Equal parts of whole

The circle is divided into two equal parts.

The circle is divided into three equal parts.

The circle is divided into four equal parts.

7

Equal parts of a collection

Unequal parts

A collection or group of mobiles are divided

into two equal groups.

A collection or group of mobiles are divided

into three equal groups.

A collection or group of mobiles are divided

into four equal groups.

When all the parts of a whole or a collection are

unequal, then each part is unequal.

Unequal parts of a whole

Unequal parts of a collection

Here a collection or groups of envelopes are

divided into two unequal groups.

Exercise 1

Here a collection or groups of envelopes are

divided into three unequal groups.

Identify the shapes which are divided into equal parts.

8

9

HALF

When a whole or collection of things is divided in to 2 equal parts, each part is called one

half. We write it as 1/2 . That means 1 divided by 2.

Eg:-

½

One part out of two is shaded. We can say that one half is shaded.

To find ½ of a collection, divide the total number by 2.

Eg: ½ of 8

8 ÷ 2 = 4

Exercise 2

Look at the picture and do as directed

a) Shade ½ b) Shade ½

c) Circle ½ of the magazines

10

d) Bubble ½ of news papers

e) Circle ½ of the radios

Thirds

Total number of TV

channels in India is 832.

There are 403,

(approximately ½ of the

total) news and current

affairs channels and 429

(more than ½ of the total)

non news channels.

When a whole or collection of things is divided into 3 equal parts, each part is called one

third. We write it as 1/3. That means 1 divided by 3.

Eg:

1/3

1/3

1/3

One part out of three is shaded. We can say that 1/3 (One third) is shaded.

One third is written as 1/3.

If two parts are shaded, we say that two thirds is shaded. Two thirds is written as 2/3.

2/3 of the people online

use social media

(whatsapp, facebook,

twitter etc..) in America.

10

1

3

If all three parts are shaded, we say that three thirds is shaded. Three thirds is written as

3/3. If 3/3 is shaded that means the whole is shaded.

To find 1/3 of a collection, divide the total number by 3 .

Eg: 1/3 of 12

12 ÷ 3 = 4

Exercise 3:

Look at the picture and do as directed

a) Shade 1/3

b) Shade 1/3

c) Circle 1/3 of the televisions

d) Circle 1/3 of the mobile phones

11

Fourths or Quarters

When whole or collection of things is divided into 4 equal parts, each part is called one

fourth. We write it as 1/4. That means 1 divided by 4.

¼ ¼

¼ ¼

One part out of four is shaded. We can say that ¼ is shaded.

If two parts are shaded, we say that two fourth is shaded. Two fourth is written as 2/4

If three parts are shaded, we say that three- fourth is shaded. Three – fourth is written as

¾.

If all four parts are shaded, we say that four fourths is shaded. Four fourths is written as

4/4. If 4/4 is shaded means, the whole is shaded.

To find ¼ of a collection divide the total number by 4

Eg: ¼ of 16

16 ÷ 4 = 4

12

Exercise 4:

Look at the pictures and do as directed

a) Shade ¼

b) Bubble ¼

c) Shade ¼

Two halves together make 1 whole ½ + ½ = 2/2 = 1

Three 1/3 together make 1 whole 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1

Four ¼ together make 1 whole ¼ + ¼ + ¼ + ¼ = 4/4 = 1

H.W Pg. 129, 130,131,135

13

Shaded and unshaded parts

Look at the picture

Here in total there are 5 parts, out of which 2 parts are shaded. So fraction of shaded parts

is 2/5. Fraction of unshaded parts is 3/5.

This group has 7 parts, out of which 3 parts are shaded. So fraction of shaded parts is 3/7.

Fraction of unshaded parts is 4/7.

Exercise 5:

I. Write the fraction of shaded parts:-

a) b) c)

II. Write the fraction of the circled pictures:-
