How to show fractions with real-life examples for Grade 2

📚 Quick Study Guide

🔢 What is a Fraction? A fraction represents a part of a whole. Think of it like sharing a pizza! 🍕 📝 Numerator: The top number of a fraction. It shows how many parts we have. 🍎 Denominator: The bottom number of a fraction. It shows how many total parts the whole is divided into. 💡 Example: If you cut a cake into 4 equal pieces and eat 1, you ate $\frac{1}{4}$ of the cake. Here, 1 is the numerator, and 4 is the denominator. 🍰 Representing Fractions: We write fractions as $\frac{numerator}{denominator}$.
