Fractions are used a lot in our lives. Our class came up with some great examples - sports fields, chrome book box, neopolitean ice- cream, measuring cups when cooking, half an hour etc.
Some important key words so far are -
equivalent (means they are differently written but are equal) eg. 3/6 = 1/2.
numerator (the number on the top of a fraction)
denominator (the number on the bottom of a fraction)
simplify (means make the numerator and denominator the smallest possible whole numbers)
eg. 10/12 = 5/6. 12/18 = 2/3
Students made their own fractions quiz in google slides.
Here is Ezra's Quiz. See if you can solve his questions and it would be great if you left a comment on his blog post Introduction to fractions.

ReplyDeleteKia ora, my name is Kaitlin I am a Year 6 in Te Ngahere at Paihia School. I really like your post about fractions because you used an interactive quiz and you explained what you were doing. I remember when I learnt about fractions I found it tricky. What else did you learn in fractions?
