Group 4 (Losana, Giovanni and Andre) have been doing a lot of problem solving lately but yesterday we needed to go back to learning about fractions so that we can see the connection between division, multiplication, decimals and percentages.
We made fraction charts by folding paper strips into half, quarters, eights and sixteenths. We then looked at basic equivalent fractions like 1/2 which is the same as 2/4's which is the same as 4/8's etc. Then we used sets of counters to represent fractions i.e. a quarter of twelve. We even started to see how any group of objects if they are the same, can be divided equally even a word like apple can be divided into thirds ap/pl/le. Here are some pictures of us working with materials to help our understanding :)
Looking good team. Keep up the great effort.

Wow , it looks like a lot of thinking is going on there. Fraction and decimals once you can grasp those I think you should come and see me and I'll think of a special prize to give you. Shhh but you will have to teach me first.
