Fraction Penguins!

As part of our learning about fractions, we decided to make fraction penguin pictures.  We had to create all the body parts from fractions of a circle including halves, quarters and eighths.  It was a fun way to help us learn!  We think our fraction penguins are pretty cool!

Look at our fraction mice!

As part of our learning about fractions we made fraction mice this week! First we had to trace around a circle and cut it out carefully and we had to fold it into eighths (eight equal parts). We needed half the circle for the mouse body, 2 eighths for the ears, 1 eighth for the head and 1 eighth for the cheese. We had to put it all together and add details like whiskers and a tail before colouring it in. We loved making them and think they look great!

Fractions!

In maths we have been looking at fractions this week. We have been making fractions of objects and of groups of objects. This activity takes us through the basics of what fractions are and has a good activity to practise our fraction skills - click on it to give it a try!
Below are some photos of us creating fractions out of geometric shapes.
