Fruit kebabs!
Last week, Mrs Jarvis' Marvelous maths group made fruit kebabs. Here is a message from her!
"Hi everyone,
We wanted to share our learning with you. Over the last few weeks we have been exploring fractions and equal sharing. Before we made kebabs we had to share the fruit out between the 9 people in our group. Sometimes we got a whole piece of fruit, or more than one of each fruit. Other times we only got a part or a fraction of the fruit. We are strong mathematicians who show and represent our thinking in different ways. We have been using equipment, equations, pictures and relationship charts to help justify our thinking.
We had so much fun and the fruit kebabs were delicious!"
