Introduction to Fractions
| Definition: | A fraction names part of a region or part of a group. The top number of a fraction is called its numerator and the bottom part is its denominator. |
So a fraction is the number of shaded parts divided by the number of equal parts as shown below:
number of shaded parts <----- numerator
number of equal parts <----- denominator
number of equal parts <----- denominator
