📚 Topic Summary
Fractions are parts of a whole. Imagine you have a pizza 🍕 cut into equal slices. Each slice is a fraction of the whole pizza. A fraction has two parts: the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number). The denominator tells you how many equal parts the whole is divided into, and the numerator tells you how many of those parts you have. For example, in the fraction $\frac{1}{2}$, the pizza is cut into 2 equal parts, and you have 1 of those parts.
