We have begun our Math unit on
Fractions and Decimals . We will be focusing on vocabulary like: numerator denominator proper fraction improper fraction equivalent fractions | mixed numbers decimal point tenths hundredths |
Yesterday we focused on proper fractions. It is important to remember that a fraction can only be a fraction if it is divided into equal parts. The top number, the numerator, show how many equal parts are counted. The bottom number, the denominator, shows how many equal parts are in 1 whole (how many total). When answering those "How do you know?" questions ask your child to include math vocabulary. Check out the examples below!
