Students learn fraction vocabulary and basic comparison. Part A asks them to fix three sentences about numerators, denominators, and a fraction comparison error involving 1/3 versus 1/2. Part B has four fill-in-the-blank questions about the numerator in 5/8, what fractions represent, and the term for the bottom number. Part C presents three true-or-false statements about what 2/5 and 1/2 mean.
This sheet establishes correct vocabulary before students work with shaded parts and equivalent fractions.

Understanding Fractions
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
In the fraction 34, the number 4 is the numerator.
Rewrite: In the fraction 34, the number 4 is the denominator.
2. Fix the sentence:
13 is greater than 12 because 3 is more than 2.
Rewrite: 13 is less than 12 because thirds are smaller parts than halves.
3. Fix the sentence:
A fraction with 0 as the numerator equals 1.
Rewrite: A fraction with 0 as the numerator equals 0.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. In the fraction 58, the numerator is 5.
2. A fraction shows equal parts of a whole.
3. The bottom number of a fraction is the denominator.
4. If a pizza is cut into 4 equal slices and you eat 1, you ate 14 of the pizza.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. The fraction 25 means 2 equal parts out of 5.
True False
2. The denominator tells how many parts are shaded.
True False
3. 12 of a shape means the shape is split into 2 equal parts.
True False
