Fraction Book

By Madeleine Popofsky


Fractions have word and picture forms

A fraction is part of a whole. If the number in the fraction is big,the fraction is small and visa versa. A fraction can equal another fraction. For instance, 1/2 = 2/4 = 50/100. Same goes for any other fraction. Equivalent fractions

These are mixed fractions. Mixed fractions are fractions that have at least 1 whole as well as a fraction of a whole.


Times I Have Had To Use Fractions I was at my house. My mom said to get out half of the garlic that was there. There were three pieces of garlic. Therefore,I gave her one and a half pieces of garlic.

I had a cake that was cut into five pieces. I gave one piece away. What fraction of the cake did I have left? Answer: 4/5.

( Continued ) ...

I have two cups. Someone stole one of them. What fraction of the cups do I have left? Answer: 1/2


What is hard and easy about fractions

I think that fractions are harder than addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, but easier than decimals. That is what I have determined based on my math skills. I think this because you learn addition and subtraction in kindergarten, you learn multiplication and division in third grade, but you only go deeper into fractions in fourth grade. You learn decimals in fifth and fourth grade.

Study Guide What is a fraction? How do you make a fraction? What is a mixed numeral? Be able to draw a fraction. Be able to convert a drawing of a fraction to a fraction written in numbers.


Surve y

These are the results of the survey:

Favorite sport to play Tennis

Soccer

Baseball

Football

Six people out of eleven liked soccer, one out of eleven liked football, one out of eleven liked baseball, and three out of eleven liked tennis. Therefore, the fractions are 6/11, 1/11, 1/11, and 3/11 which means the most people like soccer.


Reflection Thank you for reading this book. I hope you carry this knowledge with you for the rest of your life and use it when you need to. When gathering this knowledge, I learned even more about fractions. I now understand how to turn numbers into fractions easier and I also now know the complete definition of a fraction. I hope you also understand these things as well and more. I hope you continue your study of fractions.
