Fractions are part of a whole shape, object ect. In every fraction there is the denominator (the bottom number) and the numerator (the top number). The denominator indicates how many pieces are in the whole shape, objects etc and the numerator indicates how many pieces are taken away.
There are many different types of fractions such as mixed fractions, top heavy fractions and normal fractions. Mixed fractions are fractions like 2 and a half which is basically 2 wholes and a half of a whole. Another type I mentioned was a “top heavy” fraction which is when the numerator is bigger than the denominator e.g. 6/4 and 9/1 . The last type is the normal fraction which is fractions like3/4 and 1/4 which are easy to learn
Another thing you need to know when learning about fractions is to know how to add them together, you may think that it sounds hard but really it’s simple and easy to learn. If it is 2/3 + 1/3 it would equal 3/3 because the denominator stays the same because both numbers are the same (3&3) so that only means that you need to add the numerators together.
There is 1 special rule that you need to know for fractions is that “ the bigger the number, the smaller the fraction( or pieces). And that is all you need to know about fractions.
