Real-World Examples of Fractions of a Set for Grade 2

📚 Quick Study Guide

🔢 Fractions of a Set: A fraction represents a part of a whole. In the case of a set, the whole is a group of objects. 🍕 Numerator: The top number in a fraction, representing the number of parts we're interested in. 🍪 Denominator: The bottom number in a fraction, representing the total number of parts in the whole set. 🧮 Example: If you have 4 cookies and eat 1, you ate $\frac{1}{4}$ of the cookies. 🧸 Another Example: If you have a set of 5 toys and 2 are cars, then $\frac{2}{5}$ of the toys are cars. 💡 Key Idea: The denominator is always the total number of items in the set.
