- 3. WHAT IS A FRACTION? When an object is divided into a number of equal parts then each part is called a fraction
- 5. Denominator The denominator says how many equal parts in the whole object 1 2 2 equal parts
- 6. How many equal parts are there in this shape? What is the denominator of this fraction? 1
- 7. How many equal parts are there in this shape? What is the denominator of this fraction? 1 4
- 8. Find the denominators of these fractions 1 1 1 1
- 9. Find the denominators of these fractions 1 4 1 3 1 2 1 8
- 10. Draw what you think these fractions look like. 1 6 1 3 1 4 1 10
- 11. Draw what you think these fractions look like. 1 6 1 3 1 4 1 10
- 12. So, the denominator (on the bottom of a fraction) tells us… 1 2 Denominator How many there are in the whole object
- 13. numerator The numerator says how many parts in the fraction 1 2 1 part is coloured in
- 14. How many equal parts are coloured in in this shape? What is the numerator of this fraction? 4
- 15. How many equal parts are coloured in in this shape? What is the numerator of this fraction? 4 3
- 16. Find the numerator for these fractions 4 3 8 8
- 17. Find the numerator for these fractions 4 3 3 2 8 1 8 5
- 18. Draw what you think these fractions look like. 2 6 1 3 3 4 9 10
- 19. Draw what you think these fractions look like. 2 6 1 3 3 4 9 10
- 20. So, the number on the top of a fraction tells us… 1 2 numerator How many we are counting or how many we have shaded.
- 21. Find the fraction of these shapes
- 22. Find the fraction of these shapes 6 4 4 1 3 2 9 6
