What Is A Fraction? | Maths Song For Kids | Tiny Tunes

This is our Tiny Tune all about fractions. In this video we look at how divide up a whole into equal parts to give us a denominator. Then the parts that we want to count are called the numerator. Together these give us a fraction. The song gives some simple demonstrations and has a few examples at the end for students to have a go at themselves.

Song lyrics
What is a fraction?
We use them for counting part of something,
and all of that something we call a whole.
Then we divide up the whole into equal parts
and we call that the denominator.
And then the parts that we want to count, the numerator.

We are fractions,
we are fractions.
The part of a whole that we want to count,
is a fraction.

If you take a whole pizza,
and cut it up into equal slices.
Then the number of slices goes under then line.
And then your friend comes along and eats up two slices,
and that leaves you with six.
And then the six goes on top,
and we're left with six eights of a pizza.

We are fractions,
we are fractions.
The part of a whole that we want to count,
is a fraction.

Take a big bar of chocolate,
that's divided up into twenty-four parts.
That makes the denominator 24.
And if we break off eight of those chunks of chocolate,
what fraction have we got?
That's right it's eight twenty-forths of a bar of chocolate.

We are fractions,
we are fractions.
The part of a whole that we want to count,
is a fraction.
We are fractions,
we are fractions.
The part of a whole that we want to count,
is a fraction.
