Here are the lessons for today:

Maths warm up. Fractions. You will need 40 counters for this activity (or buttons or cards or clothes pegs). Start with 32 counters for this example. Write down 1/4 on a piece of paper. Find 1/4 of the 32 counters. Write the number sentence 1/4 of 32 = 8. See photo below. Now find 1/8  of the 32 counters. Write the number sentence 1/8 of 32 = 4. See photo below. Can you see a relationship between a quarter and an eighth of a set of objects? Now find 1/4 and 1/8 of the following numbers and write the number sentences that go with them: 16, 40.
