              A fraction is a part of a whole when divided into equal parts. A whole can be a region or
              a collection.



                When the whole                                    When there is a group of
                object is one, it is                              objects, it is known as a

                called a region.                                  collection.

                A pizza is a region as                            Apples in a basket form a
                it is one object.                                 collection as they form a
                                                                  group of many apples.


              equal Parts of a Whole or a collection

              The parts of a whole of the same size are called equal parts.
