When is a Whole Not a Whole?

...when it's a HOLE, of course!
We started our Fractions unit in early February, and spent a day finding like fractions of various wholes.
For example, a fourth a glass of water...
...a tenth of a glass of water will look different than a tenth of a ball of playdough!
We found fractions of amounts of water, balls of playdough, lengths of rope and paper, and more!
WOW!  We discovered that as the denominator gets bigger, the equal parts get smaller!
