presents a lesson in © Afiya Clyne 2017
A FRACTION is an EQUAL PART out of a WHOLE An equal piece or part out of a given whole It is number that names one or parts out of a whole which is divided into equal parts
A FRACTION IS A PART OUT OF A WHOLE • THE PART (NUMERATOR) : What has been asked for • THE WHOLE ( DENOMINATOR): The total number of items in all.
STEPS FOR WORKING FRACTION PROBLEM SUMS Step #1: Read the whole sum thoroughly and carefully. Analyze or think about it. Look for patterns. (Whole given/No Whole given) Step #2: Underline/Take note of the important information. Step #3: Use the information given to form statements and work your sums. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHAT IS ASKED FOR.
SING THIS SONG TO HELP YOU REMEMBER HOW TO WORK YOUR SUMS • Read the sum carefully • Try to understand it • Follow the instructions • Break it up and work it • Don’t forget to check it
To make a number, fraction or decimal fraction, a PERCENTAGE, multiply (x) it by 100
DATE: • Mathematics Fractions : Part out of Whole Sums
Take down this note Steps to work these fraction sums Read the sum carefully Pay attention to what is given and what is asked for (Underline) Check to see if the whole is given, if not add up all the given items to find the total. Reduce fractions where necessary E.g. On a farm I built in Minecraft , there are 10 cows, 12 pigs, 6 sheep and 14 chickens . What fraction of the animals are: Whole/Total = Pig = Sheep = Chicken = Cows =
E.g. 2 I played 20 parkour games with my best friend in Roblox. I lost 5 games and drew 4. What fraction of the games did I win? • Total games played = 20 • No. games lost = 5 • Number of game drew = 4 • ∴ Number of games won = 20 – (5+4) = 11 • Fraction won = = = • If I want to make a fraction a percentage, simply MULTIPLY BY 100 ( x 100) • Percentage won = x = 55%
