This document contains notes and examples about fractions. It begins by defining fractions and the different types, including proper fractions, improper fractions, and mixed numbers. It discusses how the numerator and denominator affect the size of a fraction. It also covers equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, and operations like addition and subtraction on fractions with equal or different denominators. Examples are provided for changing between improper fractions and mixed numbers, reducing fractions to lowest terms, and performing calculations on fractions.

How many equal parts of a whole. We call the top number the Numerator, it is the number of parts we have.
We call the bottom number the Denominator, it is the number of parts the whole is divided into.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

4. Ruben and his
classmates met to
discuss their school
project. He ordered
four boxes of pizza for
their snack. Each
whole pizza was sliced
into six equal parts.
How many slices of
pizza were there?
9. The part taken from the whole or set
represents a __________.
10. The part taken from the whole or set
represents a fraction.
11. What is a fraction?
Loosely speaking, a fraction is a quantity that
cannot be represented by a whole number.
Why do we need fractions?
Consider the following scenario.
Can you finish the whole cake?
If not, how many cakes did you
eat?
1 is not the answer,
neither is 0.
This suggest that we need a
new kind of number.
14. Definition:
A fraction is an ordered pair of whole numbers, the 1st one
is usually written on top of the other, such as ½ or ¾ .
The denominator tells us how many congruent pieces
the whole is divided into, thus this number cannot be 0.
The numerator tells us how many such pieces are
being considered.

b
a
15. A fraction is an indicated division
Hence, to transform an improper
fraction to mixed number,
we divide the numerator of the
improper fraction by the denominator.
An Improper Fraction is EQUAL TO or
GREATER THAN ONE WHOLE
16. Examples:
How much of a pizza do we have below?
The blue circle is our whole.
- if we divide the whole into 8
congruent pieces,
- the denominator would be 8.
We can see that we have 7 of
these pieces.
Therefore the numerator is 7,
and we have
of a pizza.
• we first need to know the size of the original pizza.

17. Equivalent fractions
a fraction can have many different appearances, these
are called equivalent fractions
In the following picture we have ½ of a cake
because the whole cake is divided into two congruent
parts and we have only one of those parts.
But if we cut the cake into smaller
congruent pieces, we can see that
2
1
=
4
2
Or we can cut the original cake
into 6 congruent pieces,
18. Equivalent fractions
a fraction can have many different appearances, these
are called equivalent fractions
Now we have 3 pieces out of 6 equal pieces, but
the total amount we have is still the same.
Therefore,

If you don’t like this, we can cut
the original cake into 8 congruent
pieces,
19. Equivalent fractions
a fraction can have many different appearances, they
are called equivalent fractions
then we have 4 pieces out of 8 equal pieces, but the
total amount we have is still the same.

Therefore,
20. How do we know that two fractions are the same?
we cannot tell whether two fractions are the same until
we reduce them to their lowest terms.
A fraction is in its lowest terms (or is reduced) if we
cannot find a whole number (other than 1) that can divide
into both its numerator and denominator.
Examples:
is not reduced because 2 can divide into
both 6 and 10.
is not reduced because 5 divides into
both 35 and 40.

24. Improper Fractions and Mixed Numbers
An improper fraction can be converted to a mixed
number and vice versa.

An improper fraction is a fraction
with the numerator larger than or
equal to the denominator.
A mixed number is a whole
number and a fraction together 7

Any whole number can be
transformed into an improper
fraction.

27. How does the denominator control a
fraction?
Conclusion:
The larger the denominator the smaller the pieces,
and if the numerator is kept fixed, the larger the
denominator the smaller the fraction,
If you share a pizza evenly among eight
people, you will get only
8
1
It’s not hard to see that the slice you get
becomes smaller and smaller.

29. How does the numerator affect a fraction?
Here is 1/16 ,
here is 3/16 ,
here is 5/16 ,
Do you see a trend?
Yes, when the numerator gets larger
we have more pieces.
And if the denominator is kept fixed,
the larger numerator makes a bigger
fraction.

31. Comparing fractions with different
numerators and different denominators.
In this case, it would be pretty difficult to tell just from
the numbers which fraction is bigger, for example
This one has less pieces
but each piece is larger
than those on the right.
This one has more pieces
but each piece is smaller
than those on the left.
12
5
8
3
32. One way to answer this question is to change the appearance
of the fractions so that the denominators are the same.
In that case, the pieces are all of the same size, hence the
larger numerator makes a bigger fraction.
The straight forward way to find a common denominator is to
multiply the two denominators together:
96
36
12
8
12
3

and
96
40

Now it is easy to tell that 5/12 is actually a bit bigger than 3/8.
33. A more efficient way to compare fractions
This method is called cross-multiplication, and make sure that you
remember to make the arrows go upward.
11
7
8

7 × 8 = 56 11 × 5 = 55
Since 56 > 55, we see that
8
5
11
7
From the previous example, we see that we don’t
really have to know what the common denominator
turns out to be, all we care are the numerators.
Therefore we shall only change the numerators by
cross multiplying.
Which one is larger,

35. Addition of Fractions
- addition means:
combining objects in two or more sets
- the objects must be of the same type,
i.e. we combine bundles with bundles and
sticks with sticks.
- in fractions,
we can only combine pieces of the same size.
In other words,
the denominators must be the same.

38. Addition of Fractions with equal denominators
is NOT the right answer because the denominator tells
us how many pieces the whole is divided into, and in this
addition problem, we have not changed the number of pieces in
the whole. Therefore the denominator should still be 8.
+ =
(1+3)
(8+8)
Example:

40. To add or subtract similar
fractions,
We simply add or subtract
their numerators and copy
their common denominator.
We always simplify the
resulting fractions.
45. When we add or subtract mixed
number that are similar,
we add or subtract the whole
number parts first, then add or
subtract the fractional parts.
We always simplify the resulting
fractions.
46.
47. We can also add or subtract
mixed fractions by changing them
first into improper fractions.
The sum or difference may be
expressed as a mixed faction in
simplest form.
We always simplify the resulting
fractions.
48.
49. If the numerator of the
subtrahend is greater than that of
the minuend, we first rename the
minuend and then subtract.
50.
51. When we subtract a fraction from
a whole number, we first rename
the whole number then do the
operation.
52.
53. When we add fraction to a whole
number, we simply add the whole
numbers and write the sum as a
mixed number.
54.
55. Addition of Fractions with
different denominators
In this case, we need to first convert them into equivalent
fraction with the same denominator.
Example:

56. Addition of Fractions with
different denominators
Remark: When the denominators are bigger, we need to
find the least common denominator by factoring.
If you do not know prime factorization yet, you have to
multiply the two denominators together.
60. Subtraction of Fractions
- subtraction means taking objects away.
- the objects must be of the same type, i.e. we
can only take away apples from a group of
apples.
- in fractions, we can only take away pieces of
the same size. In other words, the denominators
must be the same.
