Option 3 : Using paper folding activities with symmetrical cut outs of circles and rectangular strips to represent fractions.

A fraction is a number representing part of a whole.

The whole may be a single object or a group of objects and the parts have to be equal.
A fraction means a part of a group or of a region. 5/12 is a fraction. We read it as “five-twelfths”
Here 5 is called the numerator and 12 is called the denominator.
