    FRACTION VOCABULARY

    1. Fraction – A fraction is a part of a collection, set or a whole.

    2. Numerator – Numerator is the number or digits placed above the bar in a fraction, it represents how many equal parts of the whole are indicated.

    3. Denominator – Denominator is the number or digits placed below the bar in a fraction. It represents how many equal parts are present in the whole.

    4. Proper fraction – A proper fraction is a type of fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator, less than a whole

    5. Improper fraction – An improper fraction is a type fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator, greater than a whole

    6. Equivalent fraction – Equivalent fraction is fractions that give equal fraction values. Hence equivalent fractions that name the same amount.

    7. Mixed fraction - A fraction represented with its quotient and remainder is a mixed fraction. For example, 2 1/3 is a mixed fraction, where 2 is the quotient, 1 is the remainder. So, a mixed fraction is a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction.
