Today Year 3 used Smarties to work out the fraction of quantities. They counted all the Smarties from the tube to work out what the denominator was. They then counted how many Smarties there were of each colour and wrote their final answer in fraction form.
Here are what a few children said about the lesson:
“I really didn’t understand what the denominator was but after this lesson, it was easier to understand.” – Nicole
“I knew fractions of shapes but I didn’t know how to work out the fractions of quantities.” – Nicolas
“I was a super fun lesson! I learned lots and got to eat the Smarties at the end.” – Amina
