This week primary 5 have started to look at fractions as our maths topic!
To help us really understand what a fraction is we began our topic by cutting up a huge chocolate cake into halves, then quarters, then eighths, then sixteenths!
Some of us have been creating our own ‘Fraction Paths’ by cutting up 1 whole piece of paper into fractions, we were then comparing and coming up with statements about what the paths show us! Have a look at the fantastic effort by Kieran and Hannah in the photo gallery.
Some of us have started looking at comparing equlivent fractions as well! This is when 2 fractions mean the same amount, like 1/2 is the same as 2/4!
wow amazing
wow
I would love to do this again one day
Why did Mrs Brown and I not get a bit of the chocolate cake you used to learn your fractions?!
Keep up the hard work P5..!! Mrs Deas 🙂
