We have been learning that fractions are made up of EQUAL parts. In today’s lesson we had to circle shapes that were shaded in halves and tick those shapes that were shaded in quarters. It was a bit tricky because we needed to make sure that every shape was equally split into halves and quarters. When we finished, we then worked on some word questions to show how to divide groups of items into halves. We also demonstrated our understanding of fractions by drawing lines on a diagram of a muesli bar to show two different ways that the bar could be sliced into thirds.
Afterwards, Miss Board got handy with her knife skills and did a great job at slicing apples into halves, thirds, quarters and even eighths! Woohoo!
