We are coming close to the end of our final unit in math. Which will be wonderful because we will be able to review all of our previously taught units (specifically 2-step complex word problems and area/perimeter).

We have introduced fractions in Unit 7. Students built fractions from unit fractions and explored fractions as parts of a whole. They found equivalent fractions, and compared fractions with either the same denominator or the same numerator.

• Denominator: tells how many equal parts the whole is divided into. (total number of pieces)
• Numerator: tells how many equal parts you are looking at or talking about.
• Unit fraction: has a numerator of 1.
