What is a fraction?
A fraction is a part of a whole that is cut into equal parts. In 3/4, the numerator 3 tells how many parts we take, and the denominator 4 tells how many equal parts there are in all.
Think of a train 🚂 with 4 carriages. If 3 carriages are full, then 3/4 of the train is full!
Kinds of fractions
| Kind | Rule | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1️⃣ Unit | top is 1 | 1/5 |
| 👯 Like | same bottom | 2/7, 5/7 |
| 🍰 Proper | top smaller | 3/4 |
| 🥧 Improper | top bigger | 7/4 |
| 🎂 Mixed | whole + fraction | 1 3/4 |
How to work with fractions
- To name a fraction, count the coloured parts (top) and all the equal parts (bottom).
- To find a fraction of a number, divide by the bottom and multiply by the top.
- To make an equivalent fraction, multiply the top and bottom by the same number.
- To add like fractions, add the tops and keep the bottom.

Common mistakes
| Mistake | Correct |
|---|---|
| 1/5 + 2/5 = 3/10 | Keep the denominator: 3/5. |
| 1/8 is bigger than 1/4 because 8 is bigger | More parts means smaller parts: 1/4 > 1/8. |
| Counting only white parts for the denominator | The denominator counts all the equal parts. |
| Changing only the bottom for equivalent fractions | Multiply the top and bottom by the same number. |
Daily life
We use fractions when we share a pizza or a cake, cut fruit into halves and quarters, read half an hour on a clock, or share money and sweets equally among friends.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Fold paper strips into halves, quarters and eighths.
- Cut rotis, fruits or cakes into equal parts and name the fractions.
- Use groups of coins or beads for fraction of a group.
- Compare fractions using drawings before rules.
