- 2. WHAT IS A FRACTION? •When an object is divided into a number of equal parts then each part is called a fraction •Therefore, a fraction is a part of a whole.
- 3. Types of Fractions A PROPER FRACTION is a fraction whose value is less than 1 (numerator smaller than denominator) An IMPROPER FRACTION is a fraction whose value is greater than or equal to 1 (numerator greater than or equal to denominator) A MIXED NUMBER is a number whose value is greater than 1 made up of a whole part and a fraction
- 4. Examples of the three types of fractions
- 5. 2 3 Numerator Parts of a fraction Denominator
- 6. Denominator The denominator says how many equal parts in the whole object 1 2 2 equal parts
- 7. How many equal parts are there in this shape? What is the denominator of this fraction? Why? 4
- 8. Find the denominators of these fractions 4 3 2 8
- 9. Draw what you think these fractions look like. 1 6 1 3 1 4 1
- 10. So, the denominator of a fraction tells us… 1 2 ? The number of parts that the whole is divided into!
- 11. Numerator The numerator says how many parts from the whole 1 2 1 part is coloured in
- 12. How many equal parts are coloured in in this shape? What is the numerator of this fraction? Why? 3
- 13. Find the numerator for these fractions 3 2 1 5
- 14. Draw what you think these fractions look like. 2 6 1 3 3 4 9 10
- 15. So, the number on the top of a fraction tells us… 1 2 ? The number of parts from the whole
- 16. The numerator tells us… 2 3 the number of parts from the whole The denominator tells us… the number of parts the whole is divided into
- 17. Find the fraction of these shapes 6 4 4 1 3 2 9 6
- 18. •Bassie and I ordered a large pizza. The large pizza is cut into 8 (equal) slices. If Bassie ate 3 slices, how much of the pizza did he eat? Pizza Problems
