This week in Practical Maths we are going to learn to find a fraction of an amount.

Watch carefully

Last week we folded shapes to find a half and a quarter. We can use what we learnt last week to help us find a fraction of an amount this week.

We are going to find half of 8.

Share 8 spots into each half of the shape.

Let's try this

If we know half of 4 = 2

What would half of 4 tens be?

Let's check

Half of 40 = 20

Let's try these together.

How could we find a quarter of an amount?

We need to share the whole amount into 4 equal groups.

Find a quarter of the amount using this 2Do.
