A fraction represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number).

The numerator indicates how many parts of the whole are being considered.

The denominator shows the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into.

Equivalent fractions are different fractions that represent the same value or proportion of a whole.

You can find equivalent fractions by multiplying or dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number.

A mixed number is a whole number combined with a proper fraction.

Divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient is the whole number, and the remainder is the numerator of the fraction.

A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator.

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator.

A fraction model visually represents fractions, helping to understand their size and relationships.
