 Mixed Number  A whole number and a fraction  Greatest Common Factor (GCF)  The largest factor of two or more numbers  Fraction in Lowest Terms  a fraction that has been reduced, or divided so far that the numerator and the denominator do not share factors any longer.

 1/5  1 x 2= _____  5 x 2 =  1 x 3 = _____  5 x 3 =   SET OF EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS FOR 1/5 :  _____, _______, _______, ______, ______,…

 Write the fraction 2/4 and label the numerator and denominator?  Draw a picture of 2/4.  Make a set of equivalent fractions for 2/4. (Write 2 or more. Show your work)

 Equivalent Fractions  Fractions that name the same number or are of equal value  ½ = 2/4

 Simplest Form  A fraction is in simplest from when the numerator and the denominator have no common factor other that 1  Common denominator  When the denominators in two or more fractions are the same  Least Common denominator  The least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of two or more fractions.

 Fraction - a number that represents equal parts to a whole and has a numerator and denominator  Numerator – The top number of a fraction that tells the number of equal parts compared to the number of equal parts in a whole  Denominator – The bottom number of a fraction that tells the number of equal parts in the whole  Whole number – A complete amount lacking no part, member, or element

Equivalent meansEqual to =Sign that means equal renameGive a new name that means the same ½ = 3/6Rename fraction; equal fraction 1 out of 2 piecesIs the same as 3 out of 6 pieces of the same size whole as used by 1/2 Why do we need equivalent fractions? * to have set of fractions that are a family of a fraction for word problems. to understand + - and division of fractions problems and solve
