Fractions

Description

A rational number is defined as a ratio of two integers that can be expressed as a fraction, whole number, or decimal. Examples provided in the image include 0.5, 1 / 4, and 10. The term builds on the concept of ratios and fractions by showing that they can also represent rational numbers, broadening the application of fractions to include whole numbers and decimals.

Topic

Fractions

Description

Fraction subtraction involves finding the difference between two fractions, typically requiring a common denominator. Examples include 2/3 - 1/6 = 1/2 and 3/4 - 1/12 = 2/3. The result can be a fraction, mixed number, or whole number. This specifies one type of fraction operation, providing a step-by-step approach to subtraction.

Fractions

Description

Decimal Fraction: A fraction expressed as a decimal number, typically with a terminating or repeating decimal representation. Examples include 1/2 = 0.5, 3/4 = 0.75, and 1/3 = 0.333... This term bridges fractions and decimals, showing their equivalence and preparing students for broader applications in mathematics.

Topic

Fractions

Description

Fraction multiplication involves multiplying numerators and denominators directly. Examples include 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6 and 3/4 * 4/4 = 3/16. This operation is fundamental for solving problems involving scaling and proportional reasoning. It connects to practical applications of fractions in areas such as ratios, rates, and scaling.

Topic

Fractions

Description

Comparing Fractions: Determining if one fraction is greater than, less than, or equal to another fraction. Examples demonstrate comparisons like 1/2 < 2/3 and 3/4 > 3/8. This concept reinforces understanding of relative size in fractions, a critical step in working with and manipulating fractions.

Topic

Fractions

Description

Fractional exponents represent rational exponents, where the numerator indicates the power and the denominator indicates the root. Examples include 2(1/2) = √2 and 3(3/4) = (4th root of 33). These are used in advanced mathematical contexts like algebra and calculus. It introduces the connection between fractions and powers, extending the concept of fractions into exponential operations.

Topic

Fractions

Description

An improper fraction has a numerator greater than or equal to the denominator, often rewritten as a mixed number. Examples include 4/3, 10/5, and 100/50. This provides a way to represent quantities larger than one. This extends the understanding of fractions to include those greater than one, useful in mixed-number arithmetic.

Topic

Fractions

Description

Benchmark Fraction: A known fraction used to compare other fractions that are less than, greater than, or equal to it. The example given uses 1/2 as a benchmark. Fractions like 4/9 and 5/7 are compared to 1/2 on a number line, demonstrating that 4/9 < 1/2 and 5/7 > 1/2. This term helps students understand how to compare fractions using familiar reference points, a foundational skill in fraction concepts.

Topic

Fractions

Description

Denominator: The part of a fraction that determines the total fractional parts. Visuals show fractions like 3/4 ('three fourths') and 7/12 ('seven twelfths') with denominators highlighted. Understanding the denominator is crucial for interpreting fractions and performing operations like comparison and simplification.

Topic

Fractions

Description

Fractions as division represent the numerator divided by the denominator. Examples include 3/2 = 3 ÷ 2 = 1.5 and 4/5 = 4 ÷ 5 = 0.8. This representation helps convert fractions to decimals and understand their equivalence. This illustrates the dual nature of fractions as division, enhancing understanding of fractions in both numerical and decimal contexts.
