Mathematics: Fractions

In the Room 3 Maths class we have been looking at a few areas of understanding fractions.
The first is what fractions look like with objects for example what does a half look like, a third, a quarter etc.
This has led to looking at the difference denominators and numerators, and simplifying fractions.

This has been difficult for some children to understand, however we are going through activities thoroughly to ensure children are exposed to the concepts.

The second area we are exploring are fraction word problems. We are doing these activities as a class. We firstly read the problems, highlight keywords and then children try to solve. Those who have difficulties can choose to come down to the mat to work with me using materials.
