II. Key Points

• A fraction represents a part of a whole.

• The numerator is the number on the top of the fraction and represents how many parts we have.

• The denominator is the number on the bottom and represents how many equal parts the whole is divided into.

• Fractions can be proper (the numerator is less than the denominator) or improper (the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator).

III. Definitions and Terms

1. Fraction: A number that expresses a part of a whole or a division of a whole.

2. Numerator: The top number in a fraction indicates how many parts we have.

3. Denominator: The bottom number in a fraction indicates the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into.

4. Proper Fraction: A fraction where the numerator is smaller than the denominator (e.g., 1/2, 3/4).

5. Improper Fraction: A fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator (e.g., 5/4, 7/7).

IV. Examples

• 1/2: Proper fraction, 1 part out of 2 equal parts.

• 3/4: Proper fraction, 3 parts out of 4 equal parts.

• 5/4: Improper fraction, 5 parts out of 4 equal parts.
