Fractions
Today we have been learning about Fractions. We used pancakes to show halves and quarters. We made half of the pancake with jam, a quarter of the pancake with chocolate spread and the final quarter was plain.
I enjoyed making fraction pancakes, it was so much fun and I couldn’t wait to eat it!” – Megan
“We learned that one half is the same as two quarters. I liked the chocolate part best!” – Innaya
“I enjoyed halving and quartering the pancake, I especially enjoyed eating it!” – Anthony
“Today I enjoyed colouring halves and quarters because I enjoyed choosing the colours. I enjoy doing fractions because they are fun and I feel more confident with Maths.” – Briony
