    Fractions represent parts of a whole, with the top number being the numerator indicating how many parts are taken, and the bottom number being the denominator indicating how many total parts the whole was divided into. There are three types of fractions: proper fractions where the numerator is less than the denominator and the value is less than 1, improper fractions where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator and the value is greater than or equal to 1, and mixed numbers which contain both a whole number and a proper fraction that can be converted into an improper fraction.

    FRACTIONS

    Fractions represent the parts of a whole or collection of objects. A fraction has two parts.
    The number on the top of the line is called the numerator. It tells how many equal parts
    of the whole or collection are taken. The number below the line is called the denominator.

    Types of Fractions

    1. Proper Fractions - The numerator is less than the denominator. The value of the
    fraction is always less than 1.
    Examples:

    2. Improper Fractions - The value of the numerator is equal to or greater than the
    denominator. The value of the fraction is equal to or greater to 1.
    Examples:
    4
    3

    3. Mixed Number - There is a WHOLE NUMBER and a proper FRACTION. It can be


    converted into improper fraction.
