Understanding Fractions

A fraction represents a part of a whole. It consists of two numbers:

• Numerator (top number): How many parts you have
• Denominator (bottom number): How many equal parts the whole is divided into

Tips for Identifying Fractions

1. Count all equal parts of the whole (denominator)
2. Count the shaded or selected parts (numerator)
3. Simplify the fraction if possible (e.g., 2/4 = 1/2)
4. For mixed numbers, count whole shapes plus the fraction

Common Mistakes

• Swapping numerator and denominator
• Not counting parts equally in complex shapes
• Forgetting to simplify fractions
• Miscounting total parts when shapes are rotated
