Fractions

This morning we continued our fraction work using strips of paper and a paper clip. The children had to estimate different fractions using the paper clip.
Can you remember how we checked if it was right?







After working out different fractions I gave the groups different numbers to add at the end of the strip.
They had to work out which number went on the folds if the whole of the strip was marked with 40, 64, 120 and 1200.

  2. Fractions can be very difficult to learn about but it looks like your teacher has made them lots of fun using pizza! I like to use cakes with my class :-)
