In a colourful TV studio, Troy stands next to a wall touch screen showing the logo of the program. He is in her late twenties, clean-shaven and bald. He wears a blue T-shirt with a print that reads "Home Work Zone."

He says HI TVO
KIDS!
THIS IS
TEACHER TROY,
AND WE'RE GOING TO
BE TALKING ABOUT
FRACTIONS.
TODAY, WE'RE
GOING TO REALLY
TALK ABOUT THE
POWER OF THE
DENOMINATOR.
THE DENOMINATOR
IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT PART
OF THE FRACTION.
IT TELLS YOU HOW MANY
EQUAL PARTS
THE WHOLE IS
DIVIDED INTO.
SO WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO DO IS
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU
A NICE LITTLE MODEL,
JUST SO YOU CAN
GET A NICE CLEAR
UNDERSTANDING OF HOW A
DENOMINATOR WORKS.
SO IF WE LOOK
AT THE MODEL THAT
WE HAVE HERE, WE
START OFF AND
WE HAVE A NICE
YELLOW HEXAGON.

A close-up shot shows a pile of several hexagons.

He continues AND RIGHT NOW
IN THIS CASE,
WE HAVE
THE WHOLE.
SO WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT A WHOLE,
THE WHOLE IS DIVIDED
INTO ONE EQUAL PART,
SO THEREFORE THE
DENOMINATOR
IN THIS CASE
WOULD BE ONE.
AS SOON AS I TAKE
THAT OFF AND
MOVE IT OVER,
I'M LEFT NOW WITH
A HEXAGON THAT IS
SPLIT INTO TWO
EQUAL PARTS.
IF I TAKE THAT OFF
AND I SEPARATE IT,

He removes a red hexagon divided in two.

He continues YOU CAN SEE NOW THAT
THE DENOMINATOR
IN THIS
CASE IS TWO.
NOW WE GO BACK TO
THE ORIGINAL
HEXAGON AGAIN
BECAUSE THEY'RE
ALL THE SAME
SIZE HEXAGON,
THE WHOLE NOW HAS
BEEN DIVIDED
INTO THREE
EQUAL PARTS.

He takes a blue hexagon divided in three pieces.

He continues WE SPREAD
THAT OUT,
JUST SO
YOU CAN SEE IT.
THE DENOMINATOR IN
THIS CASE IS THREE.
AND OF
COURSE,
WE'RE LEFT WITH ONE
HEXAGON LEFT,
THAT'S BEEN
DIVIDED INTO
SIX EQUAL
PARTS.
AND IF WE LOOK
AT THAT,
OUR
DENOMINATOR IS SIX.

Now, he splits a green hexagon in six parts.

He continues THE DENOMINATOR IS
AN IMPORTANT
PART OF
THE FRACTION.
AS I SAID
BEFORE,
IT TELLS YOU HOW
MANY EQUAL PARTS
THE WHOLE IS
DIVIDED INTO.
IF WE LOOK AT IT
WHEN WE'RE
DEALING
WITH THE WHOLE,
THE WHOLE IS ONE
BIG PIECE.
AS WE
GOT TO SIX,
IT WAS DIVIDED INTO
SIX EQUAL PARTS.
SO WHAT ENDS UP
HAPPENING IS AS
THE DENOMINATOR
GETS LARGER,
THE PIECES
ACTUALLY GET SMALLER.
SO JUST THINK
ABOUT IT.
IF YOU HAVE A
BUNCH OF FRIENDS,
YOU WANT TO ORDER
A PIZZA,
DO YOU WANT TO
SHARE WITH ONE FRIEND
OR DO YOU WANT TO
SHARE WITH
SIX FRIENDS?
I'M TEACHER TROY
AND I HOPE THAT HELPS.
