LESSON 9<br />
The circle is in two pieces. We have made<br />
fractions, parts of a whole. To show a fraction,<br />
we have shaded one of the two pieces. The<br />
fraction is written:<br />
1<br />
2<br />
This means one out of two parts.<br />
The top number is the shaded part (called<br />
the numerator). The bottom number is the total<br />
number of pieces (the denominator).<br />
Let’s look at another circle:<br />
We have divided this circle into four pieces –<br />
