Fractions

We made a piece of bread with our favourite spread ready to learn about fractions.

1/2 + 1/2 = 1 whole

We are learning to add and subtract fractions.

Jacob and Teague checking it is exactly in half

1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8=1 whole

When you cut 1/4 into half it makes 1/8

We ate eighths of our bread and subtracted to
work out how much bread we had left.

Some people made visual poets to show their thinking

We cut up apples and worked out how many halves.

We have 10 halves of apples. It was tricky to work out how to write it as a fraction.

We worked out together we write it like this.

Bailey had 1 whole apple and 1/4 of an apple.
We worked out how to write this together
1 1/4
