Looking at Fractions in Pie Charts
Before we look at the different types of notes and rhythms, we take a quick look at some fractions
The whole pie represents the number 1
If we cut the pie down the middle (and give the rest away) we have half the pie left. This is the fraction
1/2
Now if we cut (divide) the rest of the pie into half again, what's left is the
fraction one quarter (1/4)
Cut the quarter piece in half again, and you are left with one eighth
(1/8)
Here is a whole pie with eight equal slices. Each slice is one eighth of
the whole (1/8)
This pie has three equal segments (1/3rds)
