Hi, I'm Jared with more KSN and math news you can use.

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Why do we need fractions?

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Fractions help us figure out how many pieces are in a whole.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaking of pieces, can I have a piece of that candy bar?

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Do you want one-fourth of the candy bar or one-third?

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Which gives me more candy.

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Let's figure it out.

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Think about a pizza.

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Cut one pizza into four pieces.

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Cut another pizza into three pieces.

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Which pizza has bigger pieces?

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Oh, that shows me that I want one-third of the candy bar.

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Fractions are the same no matter what you divide into pieces.

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,000
It's really easy to understand fractions when you can eat them.
