GRADE 4 WORKSHEET: FRACTION

What is a Fraction?

A fraction represents a part of a whole. It is written with two numbers, one above the other,
1 4
separated by a line. For example: 2, 5

Parts of a Fraction

Numerator: The top number, which shows how many parts we have.
Denominator: The bottom number, which shows how many equal parts the whole is divided
into
4 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟
5 𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟

Understanding Fractions with Visuals

Example 1: The Pizza

1
Imagine a pizza cut into 4 equal slices. If you eat 1 slice, you have eaten 4 of the pizza.

Example 2: The Chocolate Bar

1
A chocolate bar is divided into 8 equal pieces. If you eat 3 pieces, you have eaten 4 of the
chocolate bar.

Why Do We Need Fractions?

Fractions are useful in everyday life! We use fractions when we:

• Share things equally, like dividing a cake or a pizza.

• Measure ingredients while cooking.
• Tell time (like when we say "a quarter past the hour")

Comparing Fractions

We can compare fractions to see which is larger or smaller.

1 1
is bigger than because when a whole is divided into fewer parts, each part is bigger.

Equivalent Fractions

Sometimes different fractions can represent the same amount.

1 2
is the same as 4.

If you divide a pizza into 4 slices and eat 2, it's the same as dividing it into 2 slices and eating
