Year 3’s Fabulous Funky Fractions

yr-3-fractions-jan-2014The Year 3 Dolphins have had lots of fun discovering how to find the fraction of shapes. They began by splitting the circular shape of their air balloon designs into equal parts. They then shaded the equal parts into different colours. Their objective was then to calculate the fraction of each colour used within their air balloon. This idea then escalated into designing kites and hats that could also be split into equal parts and fractionalized!

Year 3 are now becoming quite the experts when finding the fraction of a shape – Super fun designs and super fun work produced. Well done Dolphins!
