Numerators and Denominators

Numerators and Denominators are important to teaching fractions. Students are pretty good at understanding them once they are taught the difference. One of my students puts them in opposite ABC order. Another says "ND" like Notre Dame. I think it is cute the ways they understand them for themselves. It is important that students see the difference so they can use it to make equivalent equations and in adding and subtracting fractions.
