Learning Intension I will be able to count by halves and quarters starting at any pint. Success Criteria I will be able to read and record the counting patterns of halves and quarters.

Counting by halves and quarters.

For this activity you will need 3 whole pieces of paper the same size.

Thursday- Week 8

9.15- 10.00am – Numeracy

What is a half?

One half is one part of two equal parts.

When we add them together we get 1 whole.

Fold your first piece of paper in half. Unfold it and mark your halves like the diagram.

Ext: What other ways can you can fold your paper to show half?

Fold your second and third piece of paper the same way. You can see that 3 wholes are equivalent to (or the same as) 6 halves. Write down each half on your sheet. (see example below)

½ 1 1 ½ 2 2 ½ 3

We can also see that ½ + ½ = 1 whole.

Continue the sequence of counting by halves to 7

Counting by quarters. • Some fractions can be made by dividing other fractions into equal parts.

If we take our halves of paper and fold them in half the other way like the diagram;

How many quarters do we now have or; How many quarters can you see in 3 wholes?

We can now see that 12 quarters are equivalent to 6 halves AND 3 wholes.

These fractions have a special name, do you know what it is?
