Fantastic Fractions in Primary 2/3

Primary 2/3 have had fun recently when learning about fractions. Have  a look below for a snapshot of some of the activities they have participated in.

The Circles and Triangles group were creating fractions using the blocks. They had to represent the whole on the bottom row by using the denominator to know how many blocks were required then they were to represent the numerator on top. Some pupils extended their learning by writing their own fractions then representing these using the blocks. Lots of successful learners in this.

The pupils write a list of toppings they would like on their pancakes. They wrote what fraction of their pancake they would cover with each topping then put it all together. What a fun activity it was and even better when they got to eat their marvellous creations.

Numeracy – Fractions

This week primary 2/3 have been learning about fractions. They have completed several tasks focusing on halves and quarters. The pupils started off by demonstrating their knowledge of halves throughout some Scottish themed activities. They also loved using Hit the Button to calculate halves of numbers. This would be a useful task if any pupils want some extra practise at home. This can be access by clicking here.
