Introduction to Fractions


Welcome to the Math Corner. Here is where you can find everything you need to know about grade 4 math. I encourage each one of you to refer to these posts throughout the year.

Today's lesson focused on fractions. By the end of the fractions unit you will be able to represent fractions using concrete materials and standard fractional notation. In addition, you will be able to explain the meaning of denominator and numerator. Once the concept of fractions has been obtained you will be asked to compare and order fractions according to size and the number of fractional parts.

So far we have learned that the denominator represents the number of fractional parts of a whole or a set. A numerator is the number of fractional parts being considered.

For example:
