You’ll also find a wide range of games and activities that you can use at home to build your child’s skills and confidence in using fractions.  \n2  \nFractions in everyday life – sharing  \nFractions are about sharing. Every time we share food – a pizza or a cake, sausages or some grapes – we can explore fractions.  \nWe can also explore fractions when we share out other things: toys, money, anything that needs to be split up into equal parts.  \nFractions are part of an object or part of an amount  \nYour child will be shown that you can find a fraction of an object:  \nA whole apple  \n1  \nOr a fraction of an amount:  \nHalf an apple  \n3  \nAll the cherries Half the cherries  \n1  \nChildren begin by learning that to find  they need to divide an object or an amount into two equal parts and to find , they need to divide into four equal parts.  \nYou can:  \n• Cut out the pictures on pages 17 and 18 and use them with your child to explore halves and quarters. • Describe to your child the fractions you are making whenever you split food or toys into equal quantities.  \nFraction  \nvocabulary: numerator and denominator  \nThe top number in any fraction is known as the numerator. The bottom number is known as the denominator.  \ndenominator  \nWhat the numbers in a fraction mean  \nBefore children can explore fractions further, they need to understand what the numbers in a fraction mean.  \nThe denominator (bottom number) tells you how many equal pieces the whole thing, or amount, has been split into:  \nThis orange has been split into 4 equal pieces. Each piece is  .  \nThe numerator (top number) tells us how many of those pieces we have:  \n4  \nThe orange was split into 4 equal pieces. We have 3 out of those 4  \npieces, so we have  .  \nIt can be useful to see the line in a fraction as meaning ‘out of’, so that we read a fraction like this:  \n3 3 ~~ ~~ out of  \n4 4  \nYou can:  \n• P oint out to your child the fractions that you see around you in sales (e.g. price) recipes (e.g. tablespoon) and so on. Discuss what the different numbers mean.  \nFinding a fraction of an object  \nDuring their early primary years, your child will first practise finding fractions of an object:  \nTo find of a pizza, we first cut it into 6 equal pieces ...  \nSo, to find a fraction of an object:  \n5  \nSplit it into the number of pieces shown by the denominator. Take the same number of pieces as in the numerator.  \nFinding a fraction of an amount  \nChildren also use this method to find a fraction of an amount. The denominator tells them how many equal portions to split the amount into. The numerator tells them how many of those portions to take.  \nWe’ve made 20 cakes. We’ve decided to take to sell at the school fete, and to eat the rest. So we need to find out: What’sof 20?  \nThe denominator tells us how many equal piles to split the 20 cakes  \ninto. So we split them into 4 equal piles: there are 5 in each pile.  \nWe can just say 20 ÷ 4 = 5.  \nThe numerator tells us how many of those piles we  \nneed. So we gather 3 of those piles together.  \nThe 3 piles contain 15 cakes altogether.  \nWe can just say 5 × 3 = 15.  \n of 20 is 15, so we’ll take 15 cakes to the school fete.  \nSo, to find a fraction of an amount:  \nFirst, divide","cbCaieyFJsD1geuf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieyFJsD1geuf","pdf",2984544,16,"English","# Introduction\n# Fractions in everyday life\n## Sharing\n## Fractions as parts of an object and an amount\n# Fraction vocabulary and meaning\n## Numerator and denominator\n## Reading “out of”\n# Finding fractions\n## Finding a fraction of an object\n## Finding a fraction of an amount\n# Which fractions make one whole?\n# Equivalent fractions\n# Proper and improper fractions\n# Mixed numbers\n# Improper and mixed number transformations","[{\"question\":\"What do the numerator and denominator mean in a fraction?\",\"answer\":\"The denominator tells how many equal pieces the whole is split into, and the numerator tells how many of those pieces you have.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you find a fraction of an object?\",\"answer\":\"Split the object into the number of equal pieces shown by the denominator, then take the number of pieces indicated by the numerator.\"},{\"question\":\"How can you find a fraction of an amount?\",\"answer\":\"Divide the amount by the denominator to find the value of one equal portion, then multiply by the numerator to get how much to take.\"}]","Fractions in School | PDF",1790832337]
