Fractions!

Room 20 are learning about fractions this week.  Things we need to remember;

• Fractions are fragments (pieces) of a whole
• The pieces need to be the same size (equal)
• The number at the bottom of a fraction tells us how many pieces the whole has been cut into

We had to share a slice of bread in groups of 2, and then in groups of 4.  We worked out how to cut it up into equal pieces so that everyone had the same amount of bread.  We used 1/2 (halves) and 1/4 (quarters) to work it out.
