Slide 1: Introduction Title: Understanding Fractions: A Visual Approach Subtitle: Making Fractions Fun and Easy to Learn Brief overview of what will be covered in the presentation Slide 2: Objectives Clear list of learning objectives for the lesson Understand the concept of fractions Identify the parts of a fraction Compare and order fractions Perform basic operations with fractions (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) Slide 3: What is a Fraction? Definition of a fraction: a part of a whole Visual representation of a fraction using shapes (circles, rectangles) divided into equal parts Example: 1/2 represents one part out of two equal parts Slide 4: Parts of a Fraction Numerator and denominator explained Numerator: the number of parts we have Denominator: the total number of equal parts that make up the whole Example: In the fraction 3/4, 3 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator Slide 5: Types of Fractions Explanation of proper, improper, and mixed fractions Proper fractions: numerator is less than the denominator (e.g., 2/3) Improper fractions: numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator (e.g., 5/4) Mixed fractions: combination of whole numbers and fractions (e.g., 1 1/2) Slide 6: Equivalent Fractions Definition of equivalent fractions: fractions that represent the same value Visual representation of equivalent fractions using shapes Explanation of how to find equivalent fractions by multiplying or dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number Slide 7: Comparing Fractions Methods for comparing fractions: using common denominators Slide 8: Ordering Fractions Techniques for ordering fractions: finding a common denominator or using number lines Visual representation of ordering fractions on a number line Practice exercises for students to order fractions from least to greatest or vice versa Slide 9: Adding and Subtracting Fractions Step-by-step instructions for adding and subtracting fractions with like and unlike denominators Visual aids demonstrating the process of finding a common denominator and adding/subtracting numerators Examples and practice problems for students to solve Slide 10: Multiplying and Dividing Fractions Explanation of the rules for multiplying and dividing fractions Visual representations of multiplying fractions using area models or canceling out common factors Step-by-step instructions for dividing fractions by multiplying by the reciprocal Examples and practice problems for students to work through Slide 11: Real-Life Applications Discussion on how fractions are used in everyday life situations such as cooking, shopping, and measurements Examples of how fractions are used in recipes, budgeting, and construction Encouragement for students to apply their understanding of fractions to real-world scenarios Slide 12: Conclusion Summary of key concepts covered in the lesson Encouragement for students to practice and continue exploring fractions Resources for further learning

3. WHAT IS A FRACTION?
 When an object is divided into a
number of equal parts then each
part is called a fraction

4. numerator
denominator

5. Denominator
The denominator says how many
equal parts in the whole object
1
2
2 equal parts

6. How many equal parts are there in this shape?
What is the denominator of this fraction?

12. So, the denominator (on the bottom of
a fraction) tells us…

the fraction

14. How many equal parts are coloured in in this
shape?
What is the numerator of this fraction?
