Fractions · Grade 2
In Grade 2 you learn: halves and quarters of shapes and amounts.
A fraction is a part of a whole that has been split into equal parts. The bottom number (the denominator) says how many equal parts there are; the top number (the numerator) says how many of those parts we mean. Fractions are everywhere: half-time, a quarter of an hour, a tank three-quarters full.
Key facts
- The parts must be equal in size.
- Denominator (bottom): how many equal parts. Numerator (top): how many parts we have.
