CHAPTER AT A GLANCE
Fractions
•Unit: Number System (Fractions)
•Board weightage: Fractional units, mixed numbers, fractions on the number line, equivalent fractions, lowest terms, comparing fractions, and adding and subtracting fractions give regular 1-mark, 2-mark, 3-mark and 4-mark questions in school examinations (please check your school's latest sample paper)
•Key ideas from the textbook: unit fractions and equal shares, fractional unit as 'times' (3/4 = 3 times 1/4), fraction wall, mixed numbers, equivalent fractions through equal sharing, lowest terms, comparison with the same fractional unit, addition and subtraction with the same fractional unit
•Most scoring part: showing the conversion to the same denominator and each step of the comparison, addition or subtraction
•Time to revise: about 60 minutes
