We have been learning about fractions. We know that the denominator is the number on the bottom and it tells us how many pieces or groups a whole set is divided into. The numerator is the number on the top and tells us how many of these pieces we want. We also know that each piece of a fraction must be the same size or have the same number of items in it.
Today we compared fractions. We discovered that 2/4 is the same as a 1/2; 2/6 is the same as 1/3; 2/8 is the same as 1/4.
The best part of learning about fractions was when we had a bag of Fruit Burst lollies and we had to work out the fraction of each colour. When we'd finished working that out we were able to eat our lolly. Thanks, Estelle, for providing the Fruit Bursts.
