C was introduced to fractions using this fun activity! It involves cutting up fruits into different portions / fractions, while C helps to feed a friend she calls 'Sam' (made out of an old wipes box).
 |
1 whole pear, apple cut into halves, orange cut into thirds,
lemon into quarters, and watermelon sliced into fifths. |
 |
| C with 'Sam'. |
 |
| C feeding 'Sam' half an apple. |
 |
| C feeding 'Sam' a third of an orange. |
 |
| C feeding 'Sam' a quarter of a lemon. |
We repeated this activity with various fractions, where C also got to understand how adding two halves will give her ONE whole. At the same time, she was introduced to two-thirds, two-fifths, three-fifths, etc. I laminated the print outs so they can be used over and over again.
