2. Fractions as Parts of a Whole and on a Number Line
- A fraction can represent a part of a whole object such as a roti, chikki, strip of paper, or a line segment.
- Different shapes can show the same fraction if the whole is divided equally.
- Fractions can be marked on a number line by dividing the segment from 0 to 1 into equal parts.
