Fraction Problems


L.I: To create fraction problems in an interactive book.
This week for Math we had to look at a fraction problem card and use our multiplications to solve it. We had to get into a group of 3 to 4 and solve fraction problems together. We then had to create ones ourselves for the other groups to solve. To show our understanding we had to create an interactive book of fraction questions for other people to solve. They had to be questions for 1/3, 1/4, and 1/5 questions. I create a problem for 1/3, Miiana did a problem for 1/4, and Florence did a problem for 1/5. The answers are linked on the corner of the slide. To solve a fraction problem, you can use your multiplication. For example, There are 20 cars. 1 quarter of the cars are red, the other 3/4 are blue. How many blue cars are there? To solve this, you can find the multiple to 4 that equals 20, which is 5. This means 5 cars are in a quarter. If we are counting the 3 quarters, it basically is saying we are counting 3 fives. 3 multiplied by 5 equals 15 which is our answer.
