LESSON 1: GRADE 6

INTRODUCTION OF FRACTION
FRACTION

 A fraction is a number that can represent part of a whole. If a certain


quantity is divided into a number of equal parts, one or more of these parts
is called a fraction of that quantity. In any fraction, the number on the top is
called the numerator and the number below is called the denominator. The
denominator indicates the number of parts of the whole into which it has
been divided equally. The numerator indicates the number of equal parts
taken from the whole.
 For example, in the fraction 3/4, the whole has been divided into 4 equal
parts and 3 of these parts have been taken.

¾ 3 – represent as numerator
4 – represent as denominator

Represent fractions with diagrams

- A fraction can be represented with a diagram.


- A fraction can also be represented by 6 out of 8
equal parts are shaded.
- It represented ¾ .

TYPES OF FRACTIONS

PROPER FRACTIONS

 A fraction whose numerator is less than its denominator is called a proper


fraction.
 For example, 3/12 and 2/5 are proper fractions because 3 < 12 and 2 < 5.
Example: Sam got a bar of chocolate and he divided it into 3 equal parts. He
took 1 part and gave 2 parts to his sister, Sara. We can represent Sam's
portion as 1/3 and Sara's portion as 2/3. Both these fractions are
considered proper fractions.
IMPROPER FRACTIONS

 A fraction whose numerator is greater than or equal to its denominator is


called an improper fraction.
 For example, 5/2 and 8/7 are improper fractions because 5 > 2 and 8 > 7.

MIXED FRACTIONS

 A mixed fraction is a mix of a whole number and a proper fraction.


 For example, 1 ¾ and 3 ¾ are mixed numbers or mixed fractions. In the
first example, 1 is the whole number part and ¾ is the proper fraction. In
the second example, 3 is the whole number part and ¾ is the proper
fraction.
