Fractions

Our class has been working on math lately. We do egg carton fractions, that's were we use egg cartons as fractions. We learn about denominator and numerators. Numerators are the top of the fractions, denominator is on the bottom. An easy way to remember is to think: For girls: Denim is the type of cloth used for jeans, jeans is on the lower half of you. Denominator sounds a little like Denim. For boys: Lions den, on the ground. DENominator. Denominator has den in it. So that's another way to remember. Numerators is the opposite of denominator, its on the top. So you know. Did you know the bottom fractions is the same always when adding or subtracting fractions? We are also doing equivalent fractions. 1/2 is the same as 2/4 or 3/6 or 6/12? There are so many more! I bet you could find 10 more ways. Why don't you try?
