THE SECRETS OF DIVISION...

We are the masters of fractions!  We've been investigating numbers smaller than '1' and the different forms they are expressed in. 
 
"Fractions are counted just like any other whole number, they're just smaller."
"Fractions come in all shapes and sizes, and some even use different numbers but mean exactly the same amount."
"Fractions can be doubled, halved, added, subtracted... cool!"

We've looked at how to show fractions by drawing them, using a calculator, and seeing them work on a number line.

Now we are happy with fractions and how they work, it's time to put them to good use!  Watch this space...
