Mrs Murdoch’s Mega Money

We came up with some fantastic ideas for prizes. Some of the prizes are A Special Lunchtime Treat, Teacher for a Day, Games During Assembly, A Trip to the Park with Friends and No Homework for a Week!! We had to check that these prizes were okay with Mrs Hunter because they are so fabulous!!

This week in Maths we have been learning about Fractions, particularly equivalent fractions. Some equivalent fractions we learned are: one half is the same as two quarters, one third is the same as two sixths and one fifth is the same as two tenths.

We had great fun making pizzas to show equivalent fractions.

“I enjoyed making pizzas for fractions – they looked so delicious when they were cooked.” – Ryan

“I had fun making the pizzas, it helped me to learn more about fractions.” – Innaya
