Year 3 get resourceful to support their learning of equivalentfractions!

Today in Willow maths set they made their own fraction wall to enable them to find equivalent fractions. They initially found the concept challenging as they had to make sure the pieces of paper were equally split. They applied their knowledge of what a denominator is and ultimately were able to understand how important it was for each part to be the same size.



Using their fraction walls to support them, they were able to correctly identify which fractions were equivalent to each other.



"We have found that in 1/2 there are 3/6!" Ramone and Ashlee, Year 3

Willow maths set impressed with how hard they worked as they not only demonstrated clear resourcefulness but they were also truly resilient. 

Great job!
