Bonus Questions:
What fraction of the apple sauce did his mother get?
Why can’t the container be partitioned into 3 equal parts?

Lesson 7 Concept Development
I have a beaker half full of liquid.
What fraction of liquid can you see? 1 half.
What about the part that is not full? Could that be a fraction, too? Why or why not?
It is a fraction because half is filled, and so it has 1 more half to be all
