Fractions in Year 2!
In year 2 the children have just finished their unit on fractions. They had to interact with a variety of representations of halves, thirds and quarters; identifying them in shapes and then finding fractions of numbers.
We use multilink, division techniques (sharing) and visual representation to help the children access their learning.
They have also learned how to reason and problem solve within fractions, by proving or disproving false statements and reasoning out questions that have more than one answer where they must justify their opinion.
Next we are moving on to the wonderful world of measuring!
