F is for Fractions and Fruit Salad!

What an awesome discovery time we had today.  We have been learning about fractions, how they are part of a whole and becoming familiar with the language.  So we did one of my favourite things, we made maths part of our everyday world by using food!

We made a fruit salad using wholes, halves and quarters -

Of course we enjoyed eating it when were had made it too!!

You can expose your children to the language of fractions at home by making them aware if you are cutting their sandwiches in half or quarters, when you cut different food items into parts of the whole.
