I can find fractions!

In Maths this term we have been learning about FRACTIONS


I can find fractions of whole numbers like:

½ of 12 = 6                    ⅓ of 9=  3              1/10 of 20= 2

⅔ of 12= 8                      ⅘ of 10= 8           

I can recognise when a  fraction is greater than 1:

½ + ½ + ½ = 1 1/2

⅓ + ⅓ + ⅓ + ⅓ = 1 1/3

7/4 =1 3/4
