In Maths we have been learning about fractions: whole, half, quarter and sharing items equally. We have had gummy bears to help us share with our friends, shapes to cut in halves and quarters and learning which piece of pizza you would like for yourself! Plus the big question was how many friends do you want to share with? A lot of friends or just a few? After putting this to the test with our gummy bears the whole class came to the general consequences that they would rather share with just one friend. Why? Because then you get to have more too :-)
We also looked at capacity and had to figure out which cup, jug or glass was the fullest, emptiest and closest to hall full. The children enjoyed recognising, discussing and colouring the correct quantities. We also did a lot of estimating with capacity and weighing objects. We had a lot of fun with trying to balance the scales and predict what was going to weigh more or less.
Have a great weekend everyone!
