Identify Fractions uses circles to demonstrate the meaning of numerator and denominator.
The following illustration was made by Identify Fractions With Circles Designer:
The full circle a unit. This unit is divided into 3 equal parts. If we take the two colored parts, we have taken two of the three equal parts.
The top number 2 in the numeral 
is the numerator. The numerator tells us how many of
the parts in the unit are to be taken.
The bottom number 3 in the numeral is the denominator. The denominator tells us the
total number of equal parts into which the unit is divided. In this example there are 3 equal parts in the circle.
The line between the numerator and denominator is known as the fraction bar. It is also called the division bar.
You will enter the numeral for te fraction because 2 of the 3 parts in the circle are colored.
