A fraction is a part of something big. It shows how many pieces are there. For example, if you have a pizza, a fraction can show how much you ate. If you eat half, that is 1/2. The top number tells how many pieces you have. The bottom number tells how many pieces make a whole. So, if you have 3 out of 4 pieces, that is 3/4. Fractions help us share and count things!
