Learn the idea
A fraction describes equal parts of a whole. The bottom number counts all equal parts; the top number counts the parts chosen. Unequal slices do not show fair halves.
Worked example
One of four equal parts is 1/4. To find 1/4 of 12 counters, make 4 equal groups; each has 3.
- Check that the parts are equal before naming the fraction.
- For a fraction of a set, share the whole set equally first.
