With the 4 colors of paper fold on the lines, cut, and punch holes, as shown below.
As you fold notice the fractional parts.
Punch holes on sides
Punch holes on bottom
Punch holes on top & bottom

4. Use brass fasteners to put the body parts together
Use brass fasteners to put the body parts together. Label the fractional body parts. Finish your Fraction Man with the following shapes made from die cuts:
Large CIRCLE head
Small CIRCLE eyes
RHOMBUS nose
TRAPEZOID mouth
TRIANGLE hat
PARALLELOGRAM hat band
OVAL buttons

5. What fractional part does each color represent?
The matching colors of his limbs add up to his body, which represents 1 whole.
What fractional part does each color represent?
ORANGE ?
YELLOW ?
BROWN ?

6. Introducing…
Gallon Man

7. Investigate the Equivalences (gallon, quart, pint, cup)
Capacity…
Investigate the Equivalences
(gallon, quart, pint, cup) = = =
1 gallon = quarts = pints = 16 cups
