Numerator, Denominator & Finding Fractions - Class 4 Fractions Worksheet

Class 4 fractions worksheet with 24 questions on numerator/denominator, comparing fractions, and finding fractions of numbers. Includes visual models, word problems, and comprehensive learning path.

Understanding Fractions

A fraction represents a part of a whole. When we divide something into equal parts, each part is a fraction of the whole.

Parts of a Fraction

Numerator: The top number (shows how many parts we have)

Denominator: The bottom number (shows total equal parts)

Example: 3/4 means 3 parts out of 4 equal parts (three-fourths)

Common Fractions

One-half: 1/2 (1 part of 2)

One-third: 1/3 (1 part of 3)

One-fourth: 1/4 (1 part of 4)

Three-fourths: 3/4 (3 parts of 4)

Two-thirds: 2/3 (2 parts of 3)

Solved Example

Problem: Rahul has 4 mangoes. He gives 1 mango to his friend. What fraction of mangoes did he give away? What fraction does he have left?

Solution:

Total mangoes = 4

Mangoes given away = 1

Fraction given away = 1/4 (one-fourth)

Mangoes left = 4 - 1 = 3

Fraction left = 3/4 (three-fourths)

Answer: Rahul gave 1/4 of the mangoes. He has 3/4 left!

Tips for Learning Fractions

Draw and color 10 different fractions on paper (1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 2/3, 3/4)

Cut paper circles into 2, 3, 4 parts and label each part

Practice comparing fractions using pictures - draw two fractions and see which is bigger

Use real objects like chocolates, pencils, or fruits to practice

Remember: In fractions like 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 - smaller bottom number means BIGGER fraction

Practice finding fractions of numbers: 1/2 of 10, 1/3 of 12, 1/4 of 20

Remember the trick: "1/4 of 20" means divide 20 by 4

Master division facts (÷2, ÷3, ÷4, ÷5) as they help with fractions
