this one's about simple fractions- they're parts of a whole! Have your students sing about halves, thirds, quarters, numerators and denominators!

LYRICS:

Fractions, fractions,

They're parts of a whole,

Fractions, fractions,

They're what I know...

They're equal pieces,

They're parts of a pie,

Fractions, fractions,

They're alright!

Half a pie, half a tree,

Halves of different things, are different sizes you see,

But a half is a half, big or small,

It takes two halves, to make one whole

(You have Fractions when you have equal sized parts of a whole. When it comes to halves, it takes two of them to make one whole!)

Fractions, fractions,

Parts of a whole,

Fractions, fractions,

Are what I know...

They're equal pieces,

Parts of a square,

Fractions, fractions,

They're right here!

Tells how many,

Parts there are,

Tells how many parts you got,

When you have parts,

Parts of the whole,

Fractions, fractions what you need to know...

1/3 of a pie,

1/3 of a bar,

Thirds of different things are different sizes by far,

But a third is a third,

Big or small,

It takes three thirds to make one whole!

(It takes 3 thirds to make one whole, 1/3 then 2/3rds, then 3/3rds- that's one whole)

Fractions, fractions,

They're parts of a whole,

Fractions, fractions,

They're what I know

They're equal pieces,

They're parts of a pie,

Fractions, fractions,

They're alright!

Numerator 'Never Under'

On the top,

D for Denominator, always Down,

Numerator up,

Denominator down,

Fractions, fractions,

Are all around!

¼ pie,

¼ square,

1/4 + 3/4 make one whole right here!

And a quarter is a quarter,

Big or small,

It takes 4 quarters to make one whole!

Fractions, fractions,

They're parts of a whole,

Fractions, fractions,

They're what I know...

They're equal pieces,

They're parts of a pie,

Fractions, fractions,

They're alright!

Numerator and Denominator of a Fraction

Pre-Algebra on Khan Academy: No way, this isn't your run of the mill arithmetic. This is Pre-algebra. You're about to play with the professionals. Think of pre-algebra as a runway. You're the airplane and algebra is your sunny vacation destination. Without the runway you're not going anywhere. Seriously, the foundation for all higher mathematics is laid with many of the concepts that we will introduce to you here: negative numbers, absolute value, factors, multiples, decimals, and fractions to name a few. So buckle up and move your seat into the upright position. We're about to take off!
