Fractions in 5/6L
Over the last few weeks, 5/6L have had a mathematician in their class. Mr. Watty (with the help of Mrs. Lowen) have been teaching us kids the meaning of fractions and what fractions are.
We’ve learnt that fractions are a part of a whole. Fractions contain a numerator, a vinculum and a denominator. A vinculum is the line between the numerator and the denominator. We’ve been playing fraction games to help us understand equivalent fractions.
Eg. 2/16 = 1/8 2/8 = 1/4 2/4 = 1/2 2/2 = 1
Mrs. Lowen has taught us different fraction games. We have played fraction games where you have to take away fractions and add fractions.
All the children in 5/6L are enjoying learning about fractions.
