Fractions

In Maths this term we have been learning about FRACTIONS


I can find fractions of whole numbers like:

½ of 12 =6                 ⅓ of 9= 3               1/10 of 20=2

⅔ of 12=8                        ⅘ of 10=8               

I can recognise when a  fraction is greater than 1:

½ + ½ + ½ = 1 1/2

⅓ + ⅓ + ⅓ + ⅓ = 1 1/3

7/4 =1 3/4
