This week we have been learning about fractions.
Today we started with some bits of paper the same size. One we cut into halves, one into quarters, and one we left whole. When we compared the pieces and put them on top of each other we found that 2 halves are the same as a whole, 4 quarters are the same as a whole, and 2 quarters is the same as 1 half.
Your homework this week is to:
- Discuss what you have learnt with your family. I wonder if you could show me some fractions in your homework book?
- In the comments section I want you to tell me when we use fractions in real life. Can you think of 2 examples? Get mum and dad to help you if you need it!

Daniel use's fractions when he is cutting his toast into long quarters to use as soldiers to dunk into his boiled eggs or when he cuts his banana on toast in half.
ReplyDeleteJordana had a toasted sandwich which she cut into half and then quarters. She was very proud of herself.
