Fractions

🟦 Definition

Fractions show parts of a whole.
They tell us how much of something we have when it’s split into equal parts.

🔢 How It Works

A fraction has two numbers:

• Top number (numerator): parts you have
  
  

• Bottom number (denominator): total equal parts
  
  

🧊 Example

If a pizza is cut into 4 equal slices and you eat 1,
you ate 1/4 (one-fourth) of the pizza.

🍰 Common Fractions

• 1/2 = one-half
  
  

• 1/3 = one-third
  
  

• 1/4 = one-fourth

• Share things fairly
