The word FRACTION that we know comes from the Latin word 'fractio' which means to break.

Let's take a trip back in time to see where fractions come from!

1800 B.C. Egypt- The Ancient Egyptians used hieroglyphs (hai-ruh-glifs) to write numbers that are now called fractions.

circa 500-300 B.C. Babylonia (Iraq)- The Ancient Babylonians came up with an easier system of writing fractions that used 'zero'

12th Century A.D. North Africa-
Al-Hassar developed the symbol for fractions that we have now: the horizontal bar between the numerator and denominator

17th Century A.D. Netherlands- Fractions finally make their way to Europe

Have you ever baked Christmas cookies with any of your family? How about made friendship bracelets? Maybe when you grow up you want to be a chef or architect or design clothing.

All of these tasks and careers require FRACTIONS!

"I need to double the brown sugar for my cookie recipe: what is 1/4 cup + 1/4 cup?"

"I want to build a coffee table with pieces of wood that measure 3' 3/8" long. If I need 6 pieces, how much wood am I buying?"

These are just some examples of how you will use fractions in the future. Happy fraction-ing!
