1/1 = one
Milk chocolate, oooh! Delicious!
Here is a HERSHEY'S milk chocolate bar, the kind Milton Hershey made famous. Before we eat it, we are going to learn about fractions.
Let's start by taking the wrapper off. Remember not to litter.
one whole 1
Here we have one whole milk chocolate candy bar.
And what is a fraction? A fraction is a part or a portion of a whole thing.
We are using a HERSHEY'S milk chocolate bar as our whole thing.
12/12 = twelve-twelfths
If you break this candy bar apart, you will see twelve equal sections.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, and twelve.
