In Maths this term we have been learning about FRACTIONS


I can find fractions of whole numbers like:

½ of 12 =6                     ⅓ of 9= 3               1/10 of 20=2

⅔ of 12= 8                       ⅘ of 10= 8              

I can recognise when a  fraction is greater than 1:

½ + ½ + ½ =1 1/2

⅓ + ⅓ + ⅓ + ⅓ =1 1/3

7/4 =1 3/4

• the patterns.
• The top of the basket.
• second time using the shredder to cut the flax.
