Exploring Fractions

 

This week we’ve been learning about fractions. On Wednesday we were given a collection of objects which we had to find three-quarters of. The four counters and the square of paper were simple enough but then we had to start to think… Surely Dr Fishwick didn’t expect us to cut up a 20p piece?   We found lots of different ways of making three-quarters, sometimes we even had different ways of dividing up the same objects.
