Equal parts, always
No equal parts, no fraction.
A roti cut into 4 same-size pieces gives fourths. Four uneven pieces are just pieces.
↳ Check the sizes first.

The whole idea, one bite at a time
Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
Half is two fourths
Two small pieces fill one big piece.
One 1/2 piece and two 1/4 pieces make a whole. So two 1/4 pieces fill the same space as one half.
↳ 1/2 = 2/4
Equivalent fractions
A big word for a simple idea.
↳ Same amount, new name.
Same whole first
Check the wholes before the numbers.
Half of a small roti is less than half of a big roti. Compare fractions only when the wholes are the same size.
↳ Same-size wholes, then compare.
Denominator
The number at the bottom.
↳ In 3/4, the denominator is 4.
Numerator
The number on top.
↳ In 3/4, the numerator is 3.

Same Part, New Name: Equivalent Fractions
Gurpreet builds wholes with his fraction kit. We see that fractions need equal parts, and that fractions like 1/3 and 2/6 can show the same amount.
- A fraction names equal parts of one whole. Unequal parts are not halves, thirds or fourths.
- The bottom number tells how many equal parts make the whole. The top number tells how many we take.
- Two 1/4 pieces fill the same space as one 1/2 piece, so 1/2 = 2/4.

Which Is More? Comparing Fractions
Tamanna's chocolates show why we compare fractions of the same whole. Then Sevi and Shami share chikki and parathas, and we learn two rules for comparing.
- Compare fractions only when they come from the same whole, or wholes of the same size.
- The top number is the numerator. The bottom number is the denominator.
- Same denominator: the fraction with more parts is bigger, so 2/3 > 1/3.

More Than One Whole: Parathas and Number Lines
Raman's family counts half and fourth pieces of parathas. We show fractions bigger than 1 on a number line, then compare fractions by checking them against 1 and 1/2.
- 2 halves make 1 whole, and 4 fourths make 1 whole.
- 5 pieces of 1/2 is 5/2, which is 2 and 1/2 wholes.
- When the top number is bigger than the bottom number, the fraction is more than 1.

How many 1/5 pieces make one whole?
Beginner
A 1
B 4
C 10
D 5
Show answer & explanation
5
The whole is cut into 5 equal pieces, so 5 pieces fill it.
What do we call fractions that show the same amount of the same whole?
Beginner
A Equal parts
B Bigger fractions
C Equivalent fractions
D Whole numbers
Show answer & explanation
Equivalent fractions
Equivalent means equal in value.
Match each fraction to its equivalent. P: 1/2, Q: 1/4, R: 2/3. Choices: (i) 4/6, (ii) 2/8, (iii) 5/10.
Intermediate
A P-(i), Q-(ii), R-(iii)
B P-(iii), Q-(ii), R-(i)
C P-(ii), Q-(iii), R-(i)
D P-(iii), Q-(i), R-(ii)
Show answer & explanation
P-(iii), Q-(ii), R-(i)
1/2 = 5/10, 1/4 = 2/8 and 2/3 = 4/6.
Sameer draws lines across his square but colours nothing new. Why is the coloured part still 1/3?
Intermediate
A The square gets bigger
B The bottom number stays 3, no matter how many extra lines you draw
C The lines add more colour
D The lines make smaller boxes, but the coloured area stays the same
Show answer & explanation
The lines make smaller boxes, but the coloured area stays the same
Drawing lines only renames the part. The amount of colour does not change.
