Have you been learning about fractions recently?  Here is a quick activity to explore equivalent fractions using some sticks that you can find in your garden or on your daily walk.

Find yourself a big stick and then try to find sticks that could be broken down to show halves, quarters, thirds etc of the whole big stick.

Remember! A fraction is when a whole has been broken into equal parts.  This means that the parts must be the same size.
