Finding Fractions!

Crew Ramsay got stuck into some Concrete Maths to conceptually understand fractions of an amount. We divided an amount into 4 equal parts to ‘see’ the quarters. We then found 3/4 of the amount by adding 3 of the equal parts together. Here we are getting stuck into some part, part whole activities.

Concrete Fun!

For our new unit about Fractions, Year 2 have enjoyed exploring the concept of wholes and parts by chopping fruit, deconstructing everyday objects and finally partitioning counters. We represented the whole and its parts by drawing pictures of a part, part whole model with the amounts!
