- The number on the bottom is

- The number on the top is called the

- The number on the bottom is
called the denominator
- Numerator:
Represents the number
of parts being
considered.
- Denominator:
Represents the total
number of equal
parts.
- Simple fractions
- A fraction that has
whole numbers for
its numerator and
denominator.
- This is the most
frequently seen type
of fraction
- A fraction that has

or denominator or
both which is itself
a fraction
- A fraction that

than the denominator.
- A fraction that is less than a

- Improper fraction
- A fraction that is more than a

- Rounding decimals
- When working with decimals it is often necessary to
approximate the figure by rounding up or down. Do
this exactly the same way as you round integers, but
round the number to the nearest tenth, hundredth,
thousandth and so on, depending on how many
decimal places or significant figures you want the
use.
