The image explains fractions, specifically how parts make up a whole and how to express fractions as parts of a whole. Here's a summary:

1. Understanding Whole Numbers with Fractions:

   • $\frac{3}{8} + \frac{5}{8} = 1$ (One whole is made of these parts).
   • The concept extends to combining fractions with the same denominator to make a whole (e.g., $\frac{2}{8} + \frac{6}{8} = 1$).

2. Using Visual Aids to Understand Fractions:

   • Shapes are divided into equal parts to represent fractions, showing visually what a fraction means.
   • Example: Dividing an object into 10 equal parts, shading one part to represent $\frac{1}{10}$, and eight parts for $\frac{8}{10}$.

3. Terminology:

   • Parts like $\frac{1}{10}$ are "one-tenth," while $\frac{8}{10}$ is "eight-tenths."
