Lyrics:

Any whole with equal sized parts

Like a pie, brownies, or a chart

Can be split into fractions to help you find

The parts that you want and the parts you left behind

Whether it’s made of shapes or numbers

There’s a number on top and a number under

1 whole, 1 half, 1 third,

1 fourth, or a quarter, whatever’s preferred

1 fifth, 1 sixth, 1 seventh,

1 eighth, 1 ninth, 1 tenth, 1 eleventh

Twelfths: “Um, hey! What about me?”

And 1 twelfth

The denominator is down

It tells the total number of pieces around

Then the numerator calls out

The number of parts that you’re talkin’ about

2 wholes, 2 halves, 2 thirds,

2 fourths, or quarters, whatever’s preferred

2 fifths, 2 sixths, 2 sevenths,

2 eighths, 2 ninths, 2 tenths, and 2 elevenths

Twelfths: “Yea, I’m… still here.”

And as high as you want to go!

The denominator is down

It tells the total number of pieces around

Then the numerator calls out

The number of parts that you’re talking about

3 wholes, 3 halves, 3 thirds,

3 fourths, or quarters, whatever’s preferred

3 fifths, 3 sixths, 3 sevenths,

3 eighths, 3 ninths, 3 tenths, and 3 elevenths

Everyone:

And 3 twelfths
