Year 5 has launched into their new Fractions unit in Maths this week! To build a strong foundation, we used cooked pizzas to visually explore equivalent fractions. This engaging, hands-on activity successfully helped the children consolidate the vital connection between different fractional parts. By manipulating the slices, students confidently identified equivalents for halves, quarters, eighths, thirds and sixths.  This understanding allowed them to move on to finding equivalent fractions for both unit and non-unit fractions with ease.  We also enjoyed eating the pizza slices!
