Finding Fractions of a Group

The video tutorial explains how to find parts of a group using unit fractions. It covers the concept of unit fractions, using examples like Dave's and Bob's flowers to illustrate how to divide a total into equal groups based on the denominator and count groups based on the numerator. The tutorial also discusses equivalent fractions and compares different scenarios to determine outcomes. The lesson concludes with a summary and a preview of the next topic on word problem solving.

What does the denominator in a fraction tell us?

• The total number of groups

• The number of groups to count

• The number of items in each group

• The total number of items
