P3/4 have been reinforcing their knowledge of fractions and getting creative by identifying how we can use our knowledge of fractions to help us in every day life.

We learned some knew vocabulary to help us better understand fractions.

The denominator is the number on the bottom of the fraction and it tells us the number of equal parts we have in total (in one whole).

The numerator is the number on the top of the fraction and it represents the number of equal parts we have out of the whole.

Our challenge was to use different materials to make everyday objects like a pizza and then divide these items into different equal parts to represent different fractions. Pupils would then explain how they achieved this remembering to use the term denominator and numerator.
