LYRICS:

Fractions, fractions,

Theyre parts of a whole,

Fractions, fractions,

Theyre what I know...

Theyre equal pieces,

Theyre parts of a pie,

Fractions, fractions,

Theyre alright!

Half a pie, half a tree,

Halves of different things, are different sizes you see,

But a half is a half, big or small,

It takes two halves, to make one whole

(You have Fractions when you have equal sized parts of a whole. When it comes to halves, it takes two of them to make one whole!)

Fractions, fractions,

Parts of a whole,

Fractions, fractions,

Are what I know...

Theyre equal pieces,

Parts of a square,

Fractions, fractions,

Parts there are,

Tells how many parts you got,

When you have parts,

Parts of the whole,

Fractions, fractions what you need to know...

1/3 of a pie,

1/3 of a bar,

Thirds of different things are different sizes by far,

But a third is a third,

Big or small,

It takes three thirds to make one whole!

(It takes 3 thirds to make one whole, 1/3 then 2/3rds, then 3/3rds- thats one whole)

Fractions, fractions,

Theyre parts of a whole,

Fractions, fractions,

Theyre what I know

Theyre equal pieces,

Theyre parts of a pie,

And a quarter is a quarter,

Big or small,
