This week for maths we were learning how to use fractions of sets. To find the unit fraction of a set, divide the set by the number of groups. We wrote two examples of halves, thirds, quarters, fifths and tenths each. Examples:
Halves: Set size- 12. Fraction: Halves. 12 ÷ 2 = 6. One half of 12 is 6.
Thirds: Set size- 9. Fraction: Thirds. 9 ÷ 3 = 3. One third of 9 is 3.
Quarters: Set size- 8. Fraction: Quarters. 8 ÷ 4 = 2. One quarter of 8 is 2.
Fifths: Set size- 25. Fraction: Fifths. 25 ÷ 5 = 5. One fifth of 25 is 5.
Tenths: Set size- 100. Fraction: Tenths. 100 ÷ 10 = 10. One tenth of 100 is 10.
