      Common Fractions –<\/p>\n

      Improper Fractions<\/span> <\/strong>– have a numerator larger than the denominator (greater than or equal to)<\/p>\n

      Proper Fractions<\/span> <\/strong>– have a numerator smaller than the denominator (less than)<\/p>\n

      Equivalent Fractions<\/span><\/strong> – may look different but they have the same value<\/p>\n

      Mixed Numbers<\/span><\/strong> – have a whole number part and a proper fraction part<\/p>\n

      Reduce <\/strong><\/span>– to convert the fraction to the lowest equivalent fraction<\/p>\n

      Invert<\/span><\/strong> – to turn upside down<\/p>\n
