Denominators and Numerators

The document discusses fractions and their key components. It explains that a fraction represents equal parts of a whole, with the denominator indicating how many equal parts make up the whole and the numerator indicating how many of those parts are selected. It provides examples of writing fractions, identifying numerators and denominators, and drawing representations of fractions. The goal is for students to understand that the denominator represents the number of equal parts in the whole object, while the numerator represents the number of those parts that are selected.
