Fraction Report

---

A fraction is a part of the whole number.

Children need to know the language of fractions to do it right.  
You have to make sure you put the numbers in the right place.

So if you take a circle and cut straight down the

middle and shade one half of it black.

This is what we call a half so to put it in a
fraction will be like this ½.

The bottom number is called denominator and the

top number is called numerator.

Children learn their fraction in everything they do.
Fractions are needed when you are cooking and baking.
So if you bake a chocolate cake you would need to measure
out ½ cup sugar, ¼ cocoa, 1 ½

cup flour and ¼ cup of milk.

Children can learn there factions quickly by using counters,

measuring cups, blocks, fraction charts, calculators and a

pen and paper.
