Playdoh Fractions

Today we discovered how to show fractions using playdoh shapes and plastic knives. We made a circle, square and rectangle to divide in to fractions.
Using the playdoh helped us to remember what 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 are. We found it easier to remember the fractions after making them.

While investigating different fractions we learnt that ~
1. Halves are two equal parts of one whole
2. Thirds are three equal parts of one whole
3. Quarters are four equal parts of one whole
