Fractions!

Imagine that you have a whole pizza and you divide it into 8 pieces..next, you ate 3 pieces.  How much of the whole pizza did you eat?  You ate 3/8!  This is a FRACTION!  Today, we will be learning about fractions and how we write them.  For fractions, there is always a numerator and denominator.  Watch this video to learn more:
