Understanding Fractions
Learning what a fraction represents and its parts.
Core concept
Fractions can be classified as proper fractions (numerator smaller than denominator, like 3/4, representing less than a whole), improper fractions (numerator equal to or larger than denominator, like 5/4, representing one whole or more), and mixed numbers (a whole number combined with a proper fraction, like 1¼, an alternative way to express an improper fraction). Understanding these classifications helps in performing operations and converting between different fraction forms as needed.
