Understanding Fractions

The video tutorial introduces fractions, explaining the roles of the numerator and denominator. It uses a pizza-slicing activity to demonstrate how fractions represent parts of a whole, covering halves, thirds, fourths, and fifths. The tutorial emphasizes understanding fractions as a way to divide a whole into equal parts.

What is the role of the denominator in a fraction?

• It is always larger than the numerator.

• It represents the total number of parts.

• It represents the number of parts being considered.

• It is always smaller than the numerator.
