We have started a new math unit using fractions. The students will build fractions from unit fractions and explore fractions as parts of a whole. We will also be finding equivalent fractions, and compare 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.
