Fractions are the equal pieces that have been cut from a whole object. There are three different types of fractions: proper, improper and mixed number fractions.

Proper fractions are fractions in which the denominator is bigger than the numerator an example: 3/4 

Improper fractions are fractions that have their denominator less than their numerator an example 7/6 

Mixed number fractions are fractions that have a whole as well as a fraction an example 1 and 2/5.
