Identifying Fractions

• Page 1
• Represent parts or pieces of a whole.
• Shows the operation of division.
• Numerator 5
• Denominator 8
• Draw a picture to represent this fraction.

4
Equivalent Fractions

• Fractions that show the same amount with a
  different amount of pieces. (equal)
• A fraction you get when you multiply or divide
  the numerator and denominator by the same number.
• 8 4 5 20 7x 3
  32 8
• 24 12 9 36 15x 3
  72 8

5
Simplest Form

• Showing the same amount by using the least number
  of pieces.
• Taking a fraction and dividing the numerator and
  the denominator by the same number (common
  factor) until you cant divide anymore. Try
  finding the GCF to divide by!
• 12
• 64
• Draw a picture in your foldable book.
  

6
Comparing Fractions

• When the denominators are the same, just compare
  the numerators.
• When the numerators are the same, compare the
  denominators-the larger the denominator, the
  smaller the fractional pieces.
• When the numerators and the denominators are
  different, find a common denominator by creating
  equivalent fractions.
• 4 4 7 14 9
  6
• 5 9 36 36 12
  8

7
Ordering Fractions

• If the denominators are all the same, just
  compare the numerators and put them in order
  (least greatest).
• If the numerators are the same, compare the
  denominators and then put them in order. (just
  like lt, gt, or )
• If necessary, make them all equivalent fractions
  and then put the original fractions in order.

9
Adding Subtracting Fractions

• Add or subtract only the numerators in the
  fractions because you cant change how many
  pieces they were originally divided into.
• 2 5 36 - 18
  
• 10 10 72 72

10
Identifying Mixed Numbers

• Represented by a whole number and a fraction
  together.
• When there is more than a fraction shown or a
  whole.
• In a division problem, the quotient represents
  the whole number, the remainder represents the
  numerator, and the divisor represents the
  denominator.
• 1 ¾

11
Adding Subtracting Mixed Numbers

• Add or subtract the fractions first, regroup into
  the whole number column, if necessary.
• Then add or subtract the whole numbers.
• 2 5
  
• 11 8
  7
• 9 2
  8
• 8
• 11 7
• 8

12
Improper Fractions

• When the numerator is larger than the
  denominator.
• Shows the a mixed number too!
• 7 pieces
• 4 total sections

13
Converting Mixed Numbers Improper Fractions

• Changing a mixed number improper fraction.
  Magic C
• 1 ¾
• x
• 1 x 4 4 4 3 7
  7
• 
  4
• Always put the answer over the same denominator!
  

14
Converting Mixed Numbers Improper Fractions

• Changing a improper fraction mixed number .
• 7 means 7 4 1 R 3 1 ¾
• 4
• The whole number in the quotient becomes the
  whole part of the mixed number. The remainder
  becomes the numerator and the denominator stays
  the same (divisor becomes the denominator).
