As a Math Teacher, my goal is to improve my students' math skills. Fractions are a way of expressing division between two whole numbers. A fraction is made up of two parts: the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom). For example, in the fraction 34 4 3, the number 3 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator. This means that we are dividing 3 parts out of a total of 4. Fractions can represent a quantity less than 1, equal to 1, or greater than 1. It is important to know how to simplify a fraction to make it easier to use. To do this, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number, called the common divisor. Two fractions are said to be equivalent when they represent the same quantity, even if they are written differently, such as 24 4 2 ​ And 12 2 1 ​ . We can also add or subtract fractions, provided they have the same denominator. If this is not the case, we must reduce them to the same denominator before performing the operation.
