LYRICS:
Verse 1:
Did you know that math can be fun
So pay attention this is sweet
For the parts of a whole, you can write a decimal
That's equal to a fraction, yep it's neat

Chorus:
Fractions (fractions), fractions, fractions are what we need to know (oh-oh)
The numerator's on the top, denominators right below oh
Fractions are what we need to know (what we need to know)

Verse 2:
When you reduce you need the GCF
The greatest common factor
With that you must divide both the top and the bottom
Now you're a fraction master

Chorus:
Fractions (fractions), fractions, fractions are what we need to know (oh-oh)
The numerator's on the top, denominators right below oh
Fractions are what we need to know (what we need to know)

Now when you add or subtract them
A common denominator's what you need
So you find the LCM, the least common multiple
And with that, I know that you'll succeed

Chorus:
Fractions (fractions), fractions, fractions are what we need to know (oh-oh)
The numerator's on the top, denominators right below oh
Fractions are what we need to know (what we need to know)

Ok listen to this last part
To multiply you stay in line
But when you divide, you have to flip the second fraction
Then you can multiply just fine

Chorus:
Fractions (fractions), fractions, fractions are what we need to know (oh-oh)
The numerator's on the top, denominators right below oh
Fractions are what we need to know (what we need to know)
