Using 12 sticks , describe how the teacher would demonstrate to learners that 1/4*12=3?

The teacher would start by laying out all 12 sticks in a row to represent the whole amount. Then, the teacher would divide the sticks into 4 equal groups, each containing 3 sticks. The teacher would then explain that each group represents 1/4 of the total amount of sticks, and since there are 4 groups of 3 sticks each, the answer is 3.

Materials:

- 12 sticks

Instructions:

1. Create a whole: Place all 12 sticks together to represent the whole.

2. Divide into quarters: Divide the sticks into four equal groups, each containing 3 sticks.

3. Quarter of the whole: Explain to the learners that each group of 3 sticks represents 1/4 of the whole.

4. Calculation: Ask the learners to find 1/4 of the 12 sticks by taking one of the groups of 3 sticks.

5. Demonstration: Physically demonstrate that 1/4 of 12 is 3 sticks:
- Remove one group of 3 sticks from the whole.
- Count the sticks in the removed group.

6. Conclusion: State that 1/4 of 12 is equal to 3, represented by the number of sticks in the removed group.

Visual Representation:
