Fractions
Numbers that name equal parts of a whole, like 3/4.
A fraction names equal parts of a whole: in 3/4, the bottom number (denominator) says the whole is split into 4 equal parts, and the top (numerator) says you have 3 of them. Fractions are where many kids first stall, so concrete, visual practice matters.
