| A discontinuous whole is a group of items that together make up the whole. To find a fraction part of such a whole, we can divide it up into groups, each with the same number of items. We call such groups "equal-sized groups" or "groups of equal size". It is important that we always mention thathe groups are equal in size to emphasise this aspect of the fraction parts of a whole. Examples of discontinuous wholes are: 15 oranges, 6 biscuits, 27 counters, 4 new pencils, etc. | | A discontinuous whole is a group of items that together make up the whole.
