Imagine sharing a pizza equally with a friend. Cut it into two equal pieces. Each piece is one half. A fraction tells us how many equal parts of a whole we have. Now cut another pizza into four equal pieces. Each piece is one quarter. Look at the fraction one quarter. The bottom number, four, tells us how many equal parts make the whole. The top number, one, tells us how many parts we're talking about. Here's something interesting. Two quarters cover exactly the same amount as one half. Different fractions can represent the same amount! Now it's your turn. If three of the four equal pieces are on your plate, what fraction do you have? Three quarters! Remember: fractions describe equal parts of a whole.
