Maths homework (finally!) due 23/4

Apologies for the delay in giving out the maths homework this week.

We are now looking at EQUIVALENT fractions and fraction walls. The homework includes daily practice, as usual, as well as a worksheet on fractions and page 92 in the textbook. We have also given out a fraction wall which children can colour in to help them with their knowledge of equivalent fractions.

Things to remember:
1. A fraction is a part of a whole.
2. The denominator is the number at the bottom (think D for DOWN) and tells us how many parts the fraction has been divided into (how many parts in total)
3. The numerator is the top number and tells us how many parts are shaded in out of the whole (how many bits you've got)

Hope you enjoy the homework and remember to let us know BEFORE the time if you are having any trouble with it.
