Slice a pizza, and we get fractions:

The top number says how many slices we have.
The bottom number says how many equal slices the whole pizza was cut into.

Have a try yourself:

Equivalent Fractions

Some fractions may look different, but are really the same, for example:

=

=

(Four-Eighths)

(Two-Quarters)

(One-Half)

=

=

It is usually best to show an answer using the simplest fraction ( in this case ). That is called Simplifying, or Reducing the Fraction

Numerator / Denominator

We call the top number the Numerator, it is the number of parts we have.
We call the bottom number the Denominator, it is the number of parts the whole is divided into.

You just have to remember those names! (If you forget just think "Down"-ominator)

Adding Fractions

It is easy to add fractions with the same denominator (same bottom number):

Another example:

Five-eighths plus one-eighth equals six-eighths, equals three-quarters

Adding Fractions with Different Denominators

But what about when the denominators (the bottom numbers) are not the same?

Three-eighths plus one-quarter equals ... what?

We must somehow make the denominators the same.

Three-eighths plus two-eighths equals five-eighths

There are two popular methods to make the denominators the same:

(They both work nicely, use the one you prefer.)
