Numerator
In a fraction, the numerator is the top number that represents the number of equal parts being considered. It is the part of the fraction that tells you how many parts of the whole you have.
Example:
In the fraction 3/5, the numerator is 3. This means that out of the 5 equal parts, we have 3 of them.
Study Guide:
- Definition: The numerator is the top number in a fraction that represents the number of equal parts being considered.
- Example: In the fraction 4/7, the numerator is 4, indicating that there are 4 parts of the whole.
- Understanding: The numerator is used to express a part of a whole or a part of a group.
- Application: To find the numerator in a fraction, look at the top number of the fraction.
Understanding the numerator is essential in working with fractions and understanding their relationship to whole numbers and other fractions.

Connections to the Grade 6 Focal Points (NCTM)
Number and Operations: Students' work in dividing fractions shows them that they can express the result of dividing two whole numbers as a fraction (viewed as parts of a whole). Students then extend their work in grade 5 with division of whole numbers to give mixed number and decimal solutions to division problems with whole numbers. They recognize that ratio tables not only derive from rows in the multiplication table but also connect with equivalent fractions. Students distinguish multiplicative comparisons from additive comparisons.
