Introduction to Fractions (5 minutes)

What is a Fraction?

A fraction represents a part of a whole. It consists of two parts:

• Numerator: The number above the fraction line, indicating how many parts we have.
• Denominator: The number below the fraction line, showing how many equal parts the whole is divided into.

Example: In the fraction ¾, 3 is the numerator, and 4 is the denominator.

Visualizing Fractions

To help visualize fractions, consider a pizza. If a pizza is cut into 4 equal slices and you take 3, you have consumed ¾ of the pizza.

Comparing Fractions (10 minutes)

Understanding Like Denominators

Fractions can be compared easily when they have the same denominator.

Steps to Compare:

1. Look at the numerators.
2. The fraction with the larger numerator is larger.

Example:

• Compare 3/4 and 2/4.
• Since 3 > 2, we have 3/4 > 2/4.

Practice Time

Let's compare some fractions together.

• Compare 5/7 and 3/7.
• Compare 1/6 and 5/6.

Answers:

1. 5/7 > 3/7
2. 1/6 < 5/6

Adding and Subtracting Fractions (10 minutes)

Addition of Like Denominators

When adding fractions with the same denominator, keep the denominator the same and add the numerators.

Formula: [ \frac{a}{c} + \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a+b}{c} ]

Example: [ \frac{1}{5} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{1+2}{5} = \frac{3}{5} ]

Subtraction of Like Denominators

The same rule applies to subtraction.

Formula: [ \frac{a}{c} - \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a-b}{c} ]

Example: [ \frac{4}{6} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{4-1}{6} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} ]

Practice Problems

1. ( \frac{2}{8} + \frac{3}{8} )
2. ( \frac{5}{9} - \frac{2}{9} )

Recap and Summary (5 minutes)

1. We learned about fractions and their components: numerators and denominators.
2. We compared fractions with like denominators.
3. We practiced adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator.
