Improper Fraction  -  A fraction whose numerator is equal to or greater than its denominator.

Least Common Denominator  -  The least common multiple of the denominators of two or more fractions. That is, the lowest number which is a multiple of both denominators.

Lowest Terms  -  A fraction whose numerator and denominator have no common factors is in lowest terms.

Mixed Number  -  A number composed of a whole number and a fraction.

Numerator  -  The number above the line in a fraction. Denotes the number of parts that are being taken.

Repeating Decimals  -  Decimals that endlessly repeat one number or a group of numbers.

Terminating Decimals  -  Decimals that do not continue after a certain place (that continue in an endless string of zeros).
