A fraction is part of a whole.
Fraction
• the top number (the numerator) says how many parts we have

• the bottom number (the denominator) says how many parts the whole is divided into


Slice a pizza, and you will have fractions:

                   
            1/2                             1/4                             3/8
      (One-Half)                    (One-Quarter)                  (Three-Eighths)

The top number tells how many slices you have. 
The bottom number tells how many slices the pizza was cut into.
