Lesson 5 & 6: Naming Fractions and Making a Whole. 

Links: Lesson 5, Lesson 6

Click here for a printable version of this blog post: Maths Tuesday printable

Today we are going to work on naming different fractions. There are two important things to look for: how many parts in the whole shape, and how many parts are shaded.

The number on top is the number of parts shaded (numerator). The number on the bottom is the total number of parts (denominator). For the shape above, you could say 1 part out of 3 is shaded, to help remind you that it is 1 out of 3, or 1/3.

For worksheet 6, you are seeing which parts (or fractions) of the shape need to be added together to make a whole shape (the total shape).

*If you are still a bit unsure, watch this BBC Bitesize video that explains how to write fractions. There is a quiz at the end so you can practise.

*If you are feeling confident with this, then have a go at this lesson which has a video lesson and further activities for you to practise.
