Fractions

Fractions are a way of showing parts of a whole. Imagine cutting a pizza into equal slices — if you eat one slice, you've eaten one part of the whole pizza. That’s a fraction!

A fraction has two parts:

• The top number is called the numerator. It tells you how many parts you have.
• The bottom number is called the denominator. It tells you how many equal parts the whole is divided into.

Fractions help us understand how to share, measure, and compare things that aren’t always whole — like pieces of chocolate, time on a clock, or slices of fruit.
