This document provides an overview of fractions. It defines fractions as having a numerator above a denominator. It explains how to read fractions out loud, using cardinals for the numerator and ordinals for the denominator except when the denominator is 2 or 4, instead saying "halves" or "fourths". It also notes that for denominators larger than 10, "over" is said instead of an ordinal. The document concludes that equivalent fractions are different fractions that represent the same amount.

3. 2.- READING FRACTIONS
►We use the cardinals to name the numerator and
the ordinals for the denominator with two
exceptions: denominator 2 and 4.

4. ► For denominator larger than 10 we say “over”
and do not use ordinal, so we read:

that name the same amount.
