Concept explanation

A plain-language overview with a clear example, the key idea, and links to related concepts.

Helpful for: Meeting a new idea

Example — what does 3/4 mean?

A fraction shows equal parts of a whole. In 3/4, the denominator, 4, tells us how many equal parts make the whole. The numerator, 3, tells us how many parts we take.

A circle split into four equal quarters, with three quarters coloured blue; the fraction is three quarters.
3 of 4 equal parts

Story or scenario

A short, relatable context that makes a concept memorable and meaningful.

Helpful for: Connecting an idea to everyday life

Example — sharing a chocolate bar

Aarav shares an 8-square chocolate bar with 3 friends: 4 children in all. Each child gets 8 ÷ 4 = 2 squares — that is 2/8, or 1/4, of the bar.

Eight equal chocolate squares arranged in two columns and four rows; two squares are highlighted as one child’s quarter share.
Equal sharing

Visual explanation

A diagram, worked example, grouping, number line, or process view of the idea.

Helpful for: Seeing how the parts connect

Example — a number line for 3/4

A number line from zero to one divided into four equal steps, with three quarters marked after the third step.
Count 3 of the 4 equal steps from 0 to 1. You land on 3/4.

Voice narration

“Let us read three-quarters. The bottom number, four, tells us the whole is cut into four equal parts. The top number, three, tells us we take three of them.”

Optional narration is a signed-in feature where supported; this public preview is text only.

Practice set

A short practice activity mapped to the selected concept and difficulty.

Helpful for: Checking your understanding

Example — practice question

A cake is cut into 6 equal pieces and 2 are eaten. What fraction is left?

Revision sheet

A compact recap of terms, methods, and common mistakes to avoid.

Helpful for: Revisiting key ideas and common mistakes

Key termMeaning
NumeratorNumber of parts we take
DenominatorTotal equal parts in the whole
Equivalent1/2 = 2/4 = 4/8

Watch the common mistake: 1/2 + 1/4 is not 2/6. Make the denominators equal first: 2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4.
