Halves and Quarters

Today we learned some new fraction words: half and quarter. We went out to our school playground where Mr Ellis pretended to be an evil robot master. We pretended to be his army of robots and had to follow his instructions to rotate different numbers of quarter turns.


Then, back in class, we chopped up (and ate!) some fruit to show that the words 'half' and 'quarter' can mean part of a whole thing - like a banana or an apple - as well as describing how far you've rotated. 



Can you think of other things you could find halves and quarters of?

    Hi year one

    How exciting that Mr Ellis took you all into the playground where you all learned some new fraction words: half and quarter.

    Hi year one

    Well done finding half and quarters around the class room, In the hall at lunch time I could find half a sandwich, a quarter of a piece of pizza.
