Understanding Unit Fractions

The video tutorial explains unit fractions using a pizza machine as an example. Nicole, who works at a pizza restaurant, uses a machine divided into eight slots, each holding a pizza slice. Each slice represents a unit fraction, 1/8. The tutorial demonstrates how to count and represent fractions using unit fractions, showing that all fractions can be broken down into unit fractions. It also covers how to determine the remaining pizza slices as a fraction when some are removed, reinforcing the concept of unit fractions.
