Introduction to fractions

This week, P5 explored fractions through practical, hands on experiences. Using playdough, the children created their own “pizzas” and divided them into halves, thirds, quarters and other fractions. They practised saying each fraction aloud and recording it accurately in numerical form. We also began investigating how to calculate fractions of numbers, helping us build a deeper understanding of how fractions work in real contexts. The children showed great enthusiasm and teamwork throughout!
