Fraction is a part of a whole. For the top number, we call it numerator. Also there is a name for the bottom number called denominator. The denominator number is the number of parts the whole is divided into. Example: Panda bought a pizza for his party. He also invited 5 of his friends. Then he cut the pizza into 10 parts or slice. He wanted to give his friends pizza. How many slice or piece of pizza did his friends got?
After making the comic we make a Reading Mathematics about how to
solve fraction, decimal and percentage. In this Reading Mathematics, we also
need to explain how to solve it and why we use that way to solve the answer.
For the explanation fraction to a decimal: first we need to know
the fraction or the numerator and the denominator or n/d then we need to divide the the numerator with
the denominator(n÷d)
in case you want to round off the decimal, you need to see the last digit. If
the last digit
is 5 or more you need to round it up. But
if the last digit is less than 5 then you need to round it down.
Example : 5/3 : 5÷3: 1.666 = 1.667
In
the note book we learn about percentage. In the percentage we learn how to
convert percentage into number or decimal.
-
Finding a percentage of a quantity: to find
a percentage of a quantity, write the percenate as a decimal (or fraction) then
multiply by the quantity.
Example: 2/100 x 8000: 160
