Learn about fractions by sharing pizza and colouring shapes! π
You'll learn what halves and quarters are.
A fraction is a part of a whole thing.
When we cut something into equal pieces, each piece is a fraction!
If you cut a pizza into 2 equal pieces, each piece is called one half.
The top number = how many pieces you have.
The bottom number = how many equal pieces in total.
Split something into 2 equal parts and each part is one half.
The coloured part shows one half (Β½).
Colour both parts and you have two halves β a whole! π
Split something into 4 equal parts and each part is one quarter.
This shows one quarter (ΒΌ) coloured.
Now three quarters (ΒΎ):
3 out of 4 pieces are coloured!
Tap pieces to colour them. Colour exactly half of the bar.
Colour exactly ΒΎ of the bar.
What you learnt:
β A fraction is a part of a whole
β Halves = 2 equal pieces
β Quarters = 4 equal pieces
β Top number = pieces you have
β Bottom number = total pieces
