  4. Numerator is the number of fractional units. Denominator names a fractional unit by specifying how many fractional units make one whole unit. 0 1

  5. Area Model Pie Diagram Rectangles

  6. Linear Measurement Model 1 0 3/4 Bar Diagrams are just thickened number lines. 3/4

  7. Set Model If a class of 20 students contains 15 girls and 5 boys then ¾ of the students are girls.

  8. Fractions are introduced at the end of Grade 2, but does not proceed to the next step, addition and subtraction of fractions, until Grade 4.

  9. Comparing Fractions: With the same denominator. > Comparing the number of fractional units.
