We earn learning points and Study Ladder money by completing work activities. The learning points give us certificates, trophy's or awards as we pass each stage.
We can spend the Study Ladder money on the site to buy or do things. We have spent some of our Study Ladder money buying things for our rooms.
Check out our cool Study Ladder rooms.

Fractions
A fraction is a part of a whole
Slice a pizza, and you will have fractions:
 |  |  |
| 1/2 | 1/4 | 3/8 |
(One-Half) | (One-Quarter) | (Three-Eighths) |
| The top number tells how many slices you have The bottom number tells how many slices the pizza was cut into. | ||
Equivalent Fractions
Some fractions may look different, but are really the same, for example:
| 4/8 | = | 2/4 | = | 1/2 |
| (Four-Eighths) | Two-Quarters) | (One-Half) | ||
 | = |  | = | |
It is usually best to show an answer using the simplest fraction ( 1/2 in this case ). That is called Simplifying, or Reducing the Fraction
Numerator / Denominator
We call the top number the Numerator, it is the number of parts you have.
We call the bottom number the Denominator, it is the number of parts the whole is divided into.
We call the bottom number the Denominator, it is the number of parts the whole is divided into.
| Numerator |
| Denominator |
You just have to remember those names! (If you forget just think "Down"-ominator)
Adding Fractions
You can add fractions easily if the bottom number (the denominator) is the same:
| 1/4 | + | 1/4 | = | 2/4 | = | 1/2 |
| (One-Quarter) | (One-Quarter) | (Two-Quarters) | (One-Half) | |||
| + | | = | | = | |
Another example:
| 5/8 | + | 1/8 | = | 6/8 | = | 3/4 |
 | + |  | = |  | = |  |
