Fractions

We have been finding fractions. We had fun finding half, quarters and thirds. We even found eighths and sixteenths! 

We had to do some accurate folding.

We wrote some fractions and discovered when the top and bottom number are the same that means the whole lot. 

We used counters to show amounts like 3 quarters, 4 sixteenths and 7 eighths. We found that sometimes the same fraction can be written in different ways like half or two quarters, 4 eighths or 8 sixteenths.
