👉 Learn how to understand the concept of fractions using parts of a whole. Fractions are parts of a whole and this concept can be illustrated using bars and circles. This concept can also be extended to understand equivalent fractions. When a whole bar is divided into, say, two equal parts, we refer to each of the two parts as one part out of two parts and write it as 1/2. Similarly when a circle is divided into, say, for equal parts, we refer to three of the parts as three parts out of 4 parts and write it as 3/4.
