Representing Fractions Using Visual Models

The video tutorial explains how to represent fractions using visual models. It introduces various shapes such as squares, circles, triangles, and strip models to visually depict fractions, emphasizing the importance of dividing shapes into equal parts. Each model is demonstrated with the example of representing one-third (1/3) by shading one part of the divided shape. The strip model is highlighted for its versatility in representing different fractions.
