These facts and definitions should be mastered throughout this unit. This page can be used for periodic review and study as you are finishing the unit and in the future.
Facts and Definitions
Lesson 1: What Is a Fraction?
- Whole: all of an object or all of a group
- Part: a piece of an object or a group that makes a whole when combined with other pieces
- Fraction: part of a whole, a piece of something larger
- When an object or shape is divided into two equal pieces, the pieces are called halves.
- When an object or shape is divided into four equal pieces, the pieces are called quarters.
Lesson 2: Naming Fractions
- Numerator: the top number in a fraction, how many parts of the whole you have or need
- Denominator: the bottom number in a fraction, the total number of equal parts in a whole
Lesson 3: Fraction Parts
- If the denominators are the same in two fractions, the fraction with the larger numerator is the larger fraction. (3/4 is bigger than 2/4).
- If the numerators are the same in two fractions, the fraction with the smaller denominator is the larger fraction. (1/2 is bigger than 1/3)
Lesson 4: More Fraction Exploration
- Unit fractions: fractions that have a numerator of 1
- In a fraction, when the numerator and denominator are the same, the fraction is equal to one whole or 1. (4/4 = 1)
- In a fraction, if the numerator is half of the denominator, the fraction is equal to one-half. (4/8 = 1/2)
