WALT: Find equivalent fractions.
Today in DMIC we worked on our fractions. We are learning heaps about fractions, like how to convert fractions to decimals. Today we were focusing on lengths and equivalent fractions.
We had a question in front of the class for our DMIC group to answer. "Jahzara has a liquorice that is 12cm, she has 3 other friends. How is she going to split it evenly for the 4 of them?" We then worked out what our steps would be to solving our question. Once we worked that out we got onto splitting it evenly into quarters.
Our next question was, "Jahzara's other 2 friends arrive and would like some as well. How will you divide the lace again so each of them have the same amount?" We figured we needed to split it into 2/12 for everyone to get a equal amount. We cut up each of our quarters into three equal pieces (twelfths) and then everyone would get 2/12 like in the picture.
