Note for Parents & Teachers
This follows the NCERT Class 4 chapter "Sharing and Measuring". A fraction names equal parts of a whole: in 3/4 the bottom number says how many equal parts there are and the top number says how many we take. The more parts a whole is cut into, the smaller each part. At home, cut a chapati or sheet of paper into 2, 3, 4 and 8 equal parts and compare the pieces.
