Model notes

This experience represents equal parts of a whole. Denominators range from 1 to 8 and up to 6 wholes are shown; these limits are not limits of fractions.
A piece counts as placed when its destination is chosen. It then travels to that space. Changing the representation preserves the fraction; changing the denominator changes the size of each part.
Perspective, highlights and liquid surfaces are illustrations. A cake slice or a segment represents exactly one equal part.
