As we watched a video about sharing, we drew our own examples of fractions.
We guess which fraction the teacher is pointing too. If there are 8 parts and she points to 1, then it must be 1/8.
We write our response with a partner on the whiteboard.
The top and bottom numbers have their own names.
We practice making our own representations. We fold, cut and label.
Kia ora whanau,
Fractions can be a very tricky concept for children to grasp. We have watched some videos and done some baking. If you have time to talk with children about fractions, cook or look over the video's posted below it would help to reinforce their learning in class. Fractions is the basis for a number complex mathematical concepts. The more exposure they have the greater their understanding.

Kia Ora Room 3! Wow fractions are tricky to learn about - I love seeing how you are folding paper and doing some baking to help get to grips with your learning. Did you know that I teach some of my big year 7, 8, and 9's about fractions the same way?- how clever your class is.
ReplyDeleteHi my name is Xavier and I am a year 7 at Kawakawa Primary School. I like how you showed us 1/2 and the others we were doing fractions to. I got the hang of it. Probably smarter than me blogyalater.
