What do you already know about fractions?

Introduction to Fractions

A fraction represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number).

Understanding Numerator and Denominator

The numerator indicates the number of equal parts we have, and the denominator shows how many of those parts make a whole.

Equivalent Fractions

Equivalent fractions are different fractions that represent the same value. E.g., 1/2 is equal to 2/4.

Comparing Fractions

To compare fractions, find a common denominator or convert them to decimals. E.g., 3/4 > 2/4.

Adding Fractions

To add fractions, make sure the denominators are the same, then add the numerators. E.g., 1/4 + 3/4 = 4/4 = 1.

Subtracting Fractions

Similar to addition, ensure the denominators are the same, then subtract the numerators. E.g., 3/4 - 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2.

Interactive Fraction Game

Engage with an interactive game. Match equivalent fractions using digital cards.
