Fraction Activities

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

We have continued our work on fractions with a whole lot of different activities.  We have learnt that 1/2 means one out of two equal parts and that 1/4 means one out of four equal parts.  Some of us still aren’t so sure what a quarter is, so these activities have been designed to help our understanding.

We split the following things into halves and then quarters:

Pieces of card
Playdough, using the balance scales
Coins
Counters
A quantity of rice
Oranges

We also had to work out how many whole oranges a bowl of quarters would make.

Here we are hard at work:

Can you name some things that can be split into halves and quarters?
