Fractions practice with hints

A fraction names equal parts of a whole. The bottom number (denominator) says how many equal parts the whole is split into. The top number (numerator) says how many of those parts you have. Tutorai walks you through comparing and naming fractions with hints when you get stuck — progress stays on your device.

Worked example

Problem. Which is greater, 3/4 or 3/6?

1. Both fractions have the same numerator (3).
2. When numerators match, the fraction with the smaller denominator has larger pieces.
