Fractions

 It would be easier and feels incredible when the measuring numbers are only in whole numbers like 1,2 and 3. The measuring number that we uses sometimes, we use the part of the whole number, we call fractions.

 In fraction the top part is called the numerator and bottom part is called the denominator.
For example, there are 10 box and 5 of them are colored and we do it like this.
we write like this. 5 is the numerator and 10 is the denominator.
Also don't forget to simplify. 

Second example. There are 100 equal squares and 45 of em are shaded.
We write like this 45 is the numerator and 100 is the denominator.


* When you're simplifying the fraction, see the whole numbers that can be divide into the same number.
For example, 5/15. Now 5 can be divided into 5 so 5 divided 5 is 1 and 15 divided by 5 is 3 therefore or i.e. 1/3.
