We have been learning about fractions this week. We have learned what the bottom number and the top number means.
The bottom number means "the total number to make a whole".
The top number means, "the number of pieces I have".
The bar means "of" or "out of".

There are 24 marbles in a bag. 1/4 are blue, 2/4 are red 1/4 are green.
How many are blue?
How many are red?
How many are green?
Blue:
1/4 of 24=?
4x?=24
4x6=24
so 1/4 of 24 =6
So there are 6 blue and 6 green marbles.
I know 1/4=6
so 2/4 = 6+6=12
So there are 12 red marbles.
