Fraction foundations

What does a fraction mean? Start with equal parts, find fractions on a number line, and discover how different fractions can name the same amount.

Start the first lesson

One idea at a time.

Follow the sequence, or jump to an idea you want to revisit.

  1. 01

    What is a fraction?

    Start with one whole. Split it into equal parts and give those parts a name.

  2. 02

    Fractions on a number line

    Fractions are numbers, too. Find their places by counting equal steps from zero.

  3. 03

    Equivalent fractions

    Change the number of pieces without changing the amount. See why one half is also two fourths.
