INSTRUCTIONS

Make Fractions of a Group Designer uses square and round cookies to demonstrate a fractional part of a group of objects. The following illustration was made from this program:

7/9 Picture

To arrive at the fraction 7/9 ths simply enter 7 for the number of square cookies and 9 for the total number of cookies.

The picture will show that 7 of the 9 cookies are square cookies.

All fractions must be less than or equal to one. The denominator must be 20 or less.

The <EXPLAIN> checkbox checked will show how the fraction of square cookies is calculated. Uncheck <EXPLAIN> to hide the explanation, allowing the teacher or learner to demonstrate how to write the fractions.

With <SHOW INPUT> unchecked, the numerator and denominator input boxes will act the same as password input boxes so learners will not see the numbers you input.


Suggestions:

Demonstrate numerator with 39 and then 49. Continue with increasing the numerator until you arrive at 99. This will make all cookies square cookies.
