The document introduces fractions and their basic concepts. It explains that fractions represent parts of a whole and are written with a numerator and denominator. Common fractions like halves, quarters, and thirds are presented. It also demonstrates how to add and subtract fractions with the same or different denominators. Equivalent fractions, decimals, and percentages are shown. Worksheets provide practice with equivalent fractions and conversions between fractions, decimals, and percentages.

Did you know that fractions
are not as scary as you might think?
Learn along with me
and you will be an expert
at fractions in no time at all!

2. What are fractions?

3. We write fractions
using a numerator
and a denominator.

The numerator tells us how many parts we have.
The denominator tells us how many parts something was (or is) divided into.

Did you know
that we can
add and
subtract
fractions?
If the denominators
are the same, adding
and subtracting
fractions is easy.

If the denominators
are different, we have
to change the fractions
so that they have a

Fractions are parts of
whole things.
This is the top number in a
fraction. It tells us how
many parts we have.
This is the bottom number
in a fraction. It tells us how
many parts something was
(or is) divided into.
Different fractions that all
have the same denominator.
This makes it easier to order,
add and subtract them.
Cancelling fractions is when
we divide the numerator
and denominator by the
same number.
Simplifying fractions means
finding an equivalent
fraction where the
numerator and denominator
are as small as they can be.
Decimal numbers contain
a decimal point. They
might also include tenths,
hundredths and other
numbers smaller than one.
A decimal point separates
the whole numbers from
the numbers that are
smaller than one.
