What are Fractions?

Toady, in Maths, we continued our lesson on fractions. We revised the term "half" and discussed quarters. We made fairy bread and cut eac slice into 4 equal parts to represent quarters. 



We then recorded our learning in our Maths Learning Journal. 




This is definitely a discussion worth continuing at home! It would be great for us to share strategies by commenting on these posts.

    1. I agree with Darcy! Food is definitely the best way to make sense of fractions. I'm sure her rissole tasted better cut into quarters too 😉
