Cutting it #Fractions.

"The only way to learn mathematics, is to do mathematics" : Quoted by. Paul Halmos. 

For Pangarau(Mathematics), Porowhita(Circles) and Tapa wha(Squares), have been working on our fractions. And what is fractions? As we all now, fractions are equal pieces. And is also a numerical quantity that is not a whole number. (E.g: 1/2 , 0.5) or (1/4, 0.25). The effect of knowing fractions, is that you'll instantly be able to answer other equations easily and quickly. It'll also be easier for you to work out your algebra. 

Cutting It!

"Cutting It" is the name of the task I've been working on. This worksheet is based on a baker. And what about the baker? The baker, is showing how she cuts her pies and quiches in fractions. (E.g: When she has 8 people for tea. Her fraction would be worded as this__ . Whole, Half, Quarter, Half x2 . Inside each quarter piece- Going down). 

Challenging!

What was your challenge? The most challenging part of this task, would be cutting the fraction of twentieth in place. Because, it's the largest number, it has the smallest pieces. So, it was a bit difficult trying to half it up. 

Best Part!

The best part of this task, was getting to know more about fractions! 

Task Question!

Mrs.Cook's son, Doug cut a quiche in fifths and it ended up like this. His sister Annie is not happy!

Who do you think is right? Explain your answer!

I would say that Annie is right. Because, if you look closer, you'll see the quarter and sixth in Doug's quiche. 

If you were to make a fifth. This is what the fraction would be like!

Here are some photo's, showing my learning!

I did not have enough time to finish the rest of this task! But, I'll make sure, I will get the next parts done.!
