Punch holes on sides

Punch holes on bottom

Punch holes on top & bottom

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 headSmall CIRCLE eyesRHOMBUS noseTRAPEZOID mouthTRIANGLE hatPARALLELOGRAM hat bandOVAL buttons

The matching colors of his limbs add up to his body,

which represents 1 whole.What fractional part does

each color represent?
