Fractions

Our Rectangles and Squares maths groups have been learning about simple fractions. We are learning to recognise the symbols for these fractions as well as find 1/2 or a 1/4 of a shape or set.

We have learnt that 1/2 means we need to share into 2 equal groups and look at how much is in one of those groups.

We have learnt that 1/4 means we need to share into 4 equal groups and look at how much is in one of those groups. We look at the symbol to know how many groups.

We have used crystals, teddy bears and playdough.
