WHAT IS A FRACTION? When an object is divided into a number of equal parts then each part is called a fraction
4
What is the difference between a WHOLE number and a FRACTION?
5
numerator denominator numerator denominator 2 3 Let’s practice saying: nu·mer·a·tor _____________ de·nom·i·na·tor
6
Denominator The denominator says how many equal parts in the whole object 1212 2 equal parts
7
How many equal parts are there in this shape? What is the denominator of this fraction? 1
8
Find the denominators of these fractions 11 1 1
9
Draw what you think these fractions look like. 1616 1313 1414 1 10
10
So, the number on the bottom of a fraction tells us… 1212 ? (Find a partner and discuss what you think the answer is)
11
numerator The numerator says how many parts in the fraction 1212 1 part is colored in
12
How many equal parts are colored in in this shape? What is the numerator of this fraction? 4
13
Find the numerator for these fractions 4 3 8 8
14
Draw what you think these fractions look like. 2626 1313 3434 9 10
15
So, the number on the top of a fraction tells us… 1212 ? (Find a partner and discuss what you think the answer is)
16
The numerator tells us… The denominator tells us… The numerator tells us… The denominator tells us… 2 3
17
