For the unproject I will be making an animation on what fractions are. I'll be explaining what numberators are, what denominators are, and what that line deviding them is. I'll try to make it short.

Numerator: the number that is found on the top of the

. It is "the part" Denominator: the number that is found on the bottome of the

. It is "the whole"

Fractions show something "out of" something. It's like a test score. There is 100%, and something out of that 100%. The 100% would be the denominator. The number indicating the "part out of 100" would be the numerator.

ex. 3

7

The 7 is the whole (denominator). The 3 is the part (numerator).

I will also be explaining the different types of fractions in general.

Proper Fraction: A fraction that has a denominator that is greater in value than the numerator.

ex. 5

9

This may be the easiest fraction to work with.

Improper fraction: A fraction that has a numerator that is greater in value than the denominator.

ex. 23

2

This type of fraction may be converted into mixed fractions.

Mixed fractions: A fraction that has a whole number and a proper fraction.

ex. 8 3

16 This type of fraction may be converted into improper fractions.

I may also add that you can simplify fractions, and perhaps if I have time, I'll also add how to convert fractions.
