Fractions are a part of our everyday lives. Fractions are a part of our everyday conversations, too. Think about different instances where you used the terms half, quarter, or whole. You may have shared a sandwich with a friend, where each of you had half. These words indicate that you are using fractions in your daily life.

In this lesson, you will:

• identify where you use fractions in your daily life
• estimate using fractions
• use math operations to solve everyday problems using fractions
