Fraction sandwiches

In maths, we have been learning about fractions. We have talked about equal and equal sizes and halves and fourths (quarters)

On Friday we showed our knowledge by cutting up our own sandwiches. We had to think about how we would cut it up if we had to share with 1 friend and then if we had to share with 3 friends. (1/2 and 1/4)

Once we had cut it into fourths, we were allowed to eat one fourth then had to think about how much was left.

We also discussed how 1/2 is the same as 2/4.

You could try this at home, what things can you cut up in equal pieces to share?
