Fraction Models

A fraction represents a part of a whole and is written as 'a/b', where 'a' is the numerator and 'b' is the denominator.

The numerator is the top number in a fraction and represents how many parts we have.

The denominator is the bottom number in a fraction and represents the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into.

Equivalent fractions are different fractions that represent the same value or proportion of a whole.
