Grade Level Content Expectations: N.ME Understand fractions as parts of a set of objects. N.MR Explain why equivalent fractions are equal, using models such as fraction strips or the number line for fractions with denominators of 12 or less, or equal to 100. N.ME Know that fractions of the form mn where m is greater than n, are greater than 1 and are called improper fractions; locate improper fractions on the number line.* N.MR Write improper fractions as mixed numbers, and understand that a mixed number represents the number of “wholes” and the part of a whole remaining, e.g., = 1 + = 1. N.MR Compare and order up to three fractions with denominators 2, 4, and 8, and 3, 6, and 12, including improper fractions and mixed numbers. N.MR Add and subtract fractions less than 1 with denominators through 12 and/or 100, in cases where the denominators are equal or when one denominator is a multiple of the other, e.g., =6 12; = 7 12; 3 10 – =
This lesson is for 4 th grade math students. You are to navigate your way through this lesson individually. The arrows at the bottom of the page will allow you to navigate through different parts of this lesson.

Correct!!!!
The numerator is the number on top of the fraction bar. It represents the number of parts of the whole being considered. dsa numerator
The denominator is the number under the fraction bar. The denominator represents how many parts the bottom number is equally cut into. d denominator The denominator cannot be zero since that means the whole is divided into zero parts.
3 _____ 4 Is 3 the numerator or denominator? 7 ___ 8 Is 7 the numerator or denominator? numerator denominator numerator denominator

Fractions that show the same amount considered are called equivalent. The first one says that is red and the second one says that is red... But, the same amount is red on both circles! So, they must be equivalent.
Use this site to answer the following questions: ) Which fraction is equivalent to ½? 2.) Which fraction is equivalent to ⅜ ? _4_ 8 _4_ 8 _3_ 7 _3_ 7 _6_ 8 _6_ 8 _7_8_7_8 _7_8_7_8 _6_ 16 _6_ 16 _1_ 4 _1_ 4
These are many fractions equivalent to ½ since the numerators are half of the denominators. 2/4 3/6 4/8 5/10 6/12 50/100

An Improper fraction has a top number larger than (or equal to) the bottom number. It is "top-heavy” Examples: 3/27/416/1515/1599/5
Mixed Fractions:A whole number and proper fraction together. Examples : 1 1/3 2 ¼ 2 ¾ 7 ⅕ Improper Fractions or Mixed Fractions: You can use either an improper fraction or a mixed fraction to show the same amount. For example 1 3/4 = 7/4 =
Watch this video for an introduction on how to change them using division: Besides division you can also draw a picture. For example, 7/4 (seven fourths) can change into the mixed number 1 3/4 (one and a half). They both mean the exact same amount! Here's a picture to help you see why. =
