| Common Denominators | To add 2 or more fractions, denominators must be the same |
| Denominator | Number below the bar/ EX: 8/9 9 being the denominator |
| Equivilant | 2 or more fractions equivalent in value |
| Fraction | Express a part of a whole number/ EX: 5/6 is 5 pieces out of 6 |
| Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) | Largest possible number that will divide evenly into both the numerator and denominator |
| Higher Terms | Expressing fraction with a new numerator and denominator that is equivalent to the original/ EX: 2/9=6/27 |
| Improper Fraction | Fraction value greater than or equal to 1, numerator greater than or equal to the denominator |
| Least Common Denominator (LCD) | Smallest nonzero whole number. All denominator will divide evenly |
| Like Fractions | Proper fractions with the same denominator |
| Lowest Terms | Expressing fraction when no number divides evenly into the numerator and denominator except 1 |
| Mixed Numbers | Sum of whole number and fraction/ EX: 2 1/4 |
| Numerator | top number on the fraction bar/ EX: 8/7 where 8 is the numerator |
| Prime Numbers | Whole numbers bigger than 1 only divisible by itself and 1 |
| Proper Fraction | Fraction with a value less than 1/ EX: 1/3 |
| Reciprocal | Interchanging of numerator and denominator inverted/ EX: 1/3 -> 3/1 |
