Objectives

2. Objectives Students will be able to express benchmark fractions as fair sharing, parts of a whole, or parts of a set.

4. Fractions A fraction is a number that names an equal part of a whole.

5. Parts of a Fraction 3 = the number of parts 4 = the total number of parts that equal a whole

6. Parts of a Fraction 3 = numerator 4 = denominator

7. Numerator  Above the fraction line  Tells how many of the equal parts of the whole are being looked at or identified. 34

8. 34 Denominator  Below the fraction line  Tells how many of the equal parts of the whole.
