WALT: Find out how to explain about the different types of fractions.

There are about 5 different types of fractions such as proper fractions, improper fractions, mixed fractions, whole fractions,  proper fractions is when the numerator is bigger than the denominator, so with improper fractions it's the same as proper fractions except it's opposite so the denominator is bigger than the numerator.

So whole factions are when the denominator and the numerator are the same and both equal to 1.

Example:

     Whole fractions         proper fractions improper fractions

              5 = 1                8 = 12 6      = 11

              5                  4 5

So Zero fractions are also one of the fractions but they were only named that because they add up and equal to zero so no matter what they always add up to

zero.  Zero Fractions   

Example:       8 = 0

                     0
