Curriculum objective: To work out unit fractions of numbers.
Task:
This week we have been working out fractions of numbers by grouping. We know that to work out one third of a number, we divide by 3. So to work out a third of 12, we count up in threes until we get to 12 and see how many groups of three it takes =4. To find out two thirds, we then times this answer by 2. So 4 x 2= 8
Examples:
1/3 of 12=4 so 2/3 of 12 = 8
1/5 of 25= 5 so 3/5 of 25= 15
Please carry on practicing more examples at home.
4/5 of 30= 2/8 of 24= ¾ of 28= 2/10 of 40=
