    Fraction

    Maths Vocabulary

    Grade 3
    Week 12
    PROPER FRACTION - when the numerator is less than the
    denominator.

    2
    Example: 2 is less than 5.
    𝟓

    So, it is a proper fraction.


    IMPROPER FRACTION - when the numerator is equal to or
    greater than the denominator.

    5
    Example:
    2

    5 is more than 2.

    So, it is an improper fraction.


    MIXED NUMBER OR MIXED FRACTION – when a whole
    number and a proper fraction combined.

    1
    Example: 2
    3

    So, this is a way of expressing improper fractions as a whole number


    plus a fraction.
    UNIT FRACTION - A fraction where the numerator is 1 and
    the denominator is a positive integer.

    𝟏 𝟏 𝟏 𝟏 𝟏
    Example: , , , , ...
    𝟏 𝟐 𝟑 𝟒 𝟓

    Unit fractions represent one part


    of a whole that is divided into
    equal parts.
    EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS – when a fraction represents the
    same value as another fraction.
    Example:

    You can find equivalent


    fractions by
    multiplying or dividing
    the numerator and the
    denominator by the
    same number.
    LOWEST TERMS - the simplest form of a fraction, where the
    top and bottom numbers can't be divided by any number
    except 1.
    𝟐𝟖
    Example: .
    𝟒𝟐

    If we divide both 28 and 42 by 2 and then by 7,

    In lowest terms, the numerator and denominator have no


    common factors other than 1!
    SIMPLIFYING A FRACTION - making fraction as simple as
    possible, dividing both numerator and denominator by the
    same number.
    𝟒
    Example:
    𝟏𝟎

    If we divide both 4 and 10 by 2,

    So, simplifying a fraction means finding an easier way to show


    the same amount!
    MISSING NUMERATOR IN A FRACTION
    Example:
    We need to find what number can we
    multiply 4 by to get 32.
    4 x 8 = 32
    24
    So, we multiplied the denominator (4) by 8 to get 32.
    Since we multiplied the denominator by 8, we must
    also multiply the numerator by 8 to keep the
    fraction equivalent.
    3 x 8 = 24

    Now, the fraction is with


    the numerator 24 and denominator 32
    MISSING DENOMINATOR IN A FRACTION

    Example:
    To find the equivalent fraction, we first determine
    what number can we multiply 1 by to get 4:
    1x4=4
    So, we multiplied the numerator by 4.
    12
    Since we multiplied the numerator by 4, we must
    also multiply the denominator by 4 to keep the
    fraction equivalent.
    3 x 4 = 12

    The missing denominator is 12.


    CONVERTING MIXED NUMBERS TO IMPROPER FRACTIONS:
    Example:
    Steps:
    1. Multiply the whole number by
    the denominator of the
    fraction.

    2. Add the result to the


    numerator of the fraction.

    3. Place the sum over the


    original denominator.
    CONVERTING IMPROPER FRACTIONS TO MIXED NUMBERS:
    Example:
    Steps:
    1. Divide the numerator by the
    denominator.

    2. The quotient (whole number)


    becomes the whole part of the
    mixed number.

    3. The remainder becomes the


    numerator of the fraction.
