What Are Fractions?
Fractions are parts of a whole!
When we divide something into equal parts, each part is a fraction. Fractions help us share things
fairly, like pizza, cakes, or even time!
Understanding Simple Fractions
1️⃣ The top number (numerator) tells how many parts we have
2️⃣ The bottom number (denominator) tells how many equal parts the whole is divided into
3️⃣ The line between them means "out of" or "divided by"

Parent Tips 🌟
- Use real-life examples: Cut fruits, pizzas, or sandwiches to show fractions in action.
- Make it hands-on: Use paper plates or construction paper to create fraction manipulatives.
- Fraction scavenger hunt: Look for fractions around the house (half a glass of milk, quarter of an hour, etc.).
