Fractions Vocab (Mastery Check) | 5th Grade Math

welcome to fifth grade math with mr. J [Music] alright so here we are at the fraction vocabulary mastery check where you are going to see if you know these seven words you are going to write out an example or a sentence or anything you can think of to represent what these vocabulary words mean if you're looking for more of an instructional video I drop that link down in the description where I cover these seven words and tell you what they mean and give you some examples so go check that out and then come back to the mastery check if you need to if you're ready for the mastery check you should have something to something out to write on and write with and when I say pause here in a few seconds you'll press pause write out what each of these means and when you're ready go ahead and press play and then check your work with mine your goal is to have all seven of these correct okay so if you're ready go ahead and press pause alright welcome back let's see if you know what these words mean so numerator again some type of sentence or something written out maybe you have an example whatever it may be it should be indicating that the numerator is the top number of a fraction and then the opposite would be the denominator which is the bottom number of a fraction a mixed number means you have a whole number and a fraction so 10 and 3/10 one and a half okay those are all mixed numbers proper fraction means your numerator is less than your denominator the top is less than the bottom maybe you wrote examples out whatever it may be the top should be less than the bottom improper fraction which these are fractions that are greater than a whole the top is greater than the bottom okay so I'll I'll write out some examples here there you go like fractions means the denominators are the same so 1/6 + 4 sixths would be like fractions because the denominators are the same or 1 12 and 7 twelfths those would be like fractions unlike fractions means the denominators are different so 3/7 and for 15 or let's do 3 9 and 17 over 21 those would be unlike fractions as well so hopefully have those seven vocabulary words down those are kind of like the building blocks of fraction vocabulary there and then just a bonus here if you remember from the instructional video what does it equal if your numerator and the denominator are the exact same so 8 over 8 or 12 over 12 what does that equal hopefully you're thinking one whole if the top is equal to the bottom it equals one whole no matter what the numbers are it could be 1,000 over a thousand that's still one whole all right thanks for watching you
