➗ Mind Map: Fractions – When the Whole Breaks into Parts 📐
What is a fraction, actually?
Fractions begin with a simple idea: The whole – meaning one from calculations with natural numbers – can be further divided.
A cake 🍰 is a great example: If it's divided into four equal pieces, each piece is one quarter. If one is missing, three quarters remain. So simple – yet so ingenious!
