The document introduces the concept of fractions, explaining their components like the numerator and denominator, and how they relate to whole numbers and division. It discusses mixed numbers, proper and improper fractions, as well as addition and subtraction of fractions, emphasizing the need for common denominators. Various examples are provided to illustrate the principles of fractions in different contexts.

1. FRACTIONS UNIT

2. Numerator = # on top
Denominator = # on the
bottom
(down below)
The Denominator
How many equal parts are
described?
How many equal parts are in all
(total)?
You can also write it:
1/2

3. Parts of a Whole
◻Whole = 1
complete thing
◻Different from
a hole in the
ground

4. 1 WHOLE fraction
🡪
◻ The top number and the bottom are the
same!
4 5 8 55 86
4 5 8 55
86
◻Give me some more fractions
that equal 1 whole!

5. Parts of a Whole
What’s the fraction we should write
for each?

6. Write a fraction for the part of each flag that
is red.
Italy Indonesia Taiwan
Austria Germany Spain

7. Parts of a Set
◻ What is the total number of
fruits?
? This will be your denominator!
? What fraction of this set are
bananas?
? What fraction of this set are
oranges?
? What fraction of this set are
apples?

8. What fraction of each set is blue?
Draw a picture to
show the fraction
3/5 as part of a set!

9. Mixed Number
◻Mixed Number: A whole
number WITH a fraction.
Talk with a
partner, think
up and write 2
more MIXED
NUMBERS on
your worksheet

10. Mixed Number Models
◻Mixed Number = A whole + a fraction
3 wholes + 5/6 (fraction) = mixed
number

11. Complete These Statements:
◻A mixed number is the sum of a
_____________
And a ________________.
◻The __________________ is the number on the
bottom of a fraction, and the
_________________ is the number on the top of
a fraction.

12. Fractions as Division Statements
◻Fractions are another way to write a division
statement!

13. Fractions and Division are Related!
