A fraction names equal parts of one whole. The bottom number (the denominator) is how many equal parts the shape is cut into; the top number (the numerator) is how many are shaded. A shape in 4 equal parts with 3 shaded is three-quarters, written 3/4.
Quick way to teach it: Say it in words before writing it: "three out of four equal parts." Then write the bottom number first (how many parts in all) and the top number second (how many are shaded). Stress that the parts must be equal — that's what makes it a fraction.

This is usually taught in Grade 1 & Grade 2. A fraction names equal parts of one whole. The bottom number (the denominator) is how many equal parts the shape is cut into; the top number (the numerator) is how many are shaded. A shape in 4 equal parts with 3 shaded is three-quarters, written 3/4.
The bottom number — the denominator — is how many equal parts the whole is divided into. The top number — the numerator — is how many of those parts are shaded or counted. So 3/4 means three of four equal parts. The parts must be equal in size for it to be a fraction.
