If Linda has partitioned a shape into six parts and claims that each part represents a sixth, you could respond with a few questions or comments to clarify her statement:
1. **Understanding the Partitioning**: "Can you show me how you've divided the shape? Are all six parts equal in size?"
2. **Definition of a Sixth**: "Just to clarify, when you say each part is a sixth, do you mean that the area of each part is equal to one-sixth of the total area of the shape?"
3. **Visual Confirmation**: "It would be helpful to confirm visually. Could you label each part to show that they all are indeed equal?"
This way, you're engaging with her explanation critically while also encouraging her to demonstrate her understanding.
