Fractions are parts of a whole. Think of it like sharing a yummy pizza—each slice is a fraction of the whole pie! 🍕✨
First comes the numerator, then comes the denominator. The numerator tells us how many slices we have, and the denominator tells us how many slices make up the whole pizza.
For example, if you eat 2 slices out of 4, you’ve eaten 2/4 of the pizza. That’s like saying “two parts out of four.” Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
Imagine there are 8 candies in a bag. If you take 3 candies, what fraction of the candies do you have?
- The numerator is the number of candies you
took: 3.
- The denominator is the total number of
candies: 8.
So, the fraction is 3/8. Yay! You now have
three-eighths of the candies! 🍬🍬🍬
1. Use everyday objects like fruits, toys, or snacks to explain fractions.
2. Repeat key terms like “numerator” and “denominator” in a fun sing-song way.
3. Encourage your child to draw pictures of fractions (like dividing a circle into slices).
4. Celebrate small wins with high-fives or stickers to keep them motivated!
