Follow the step by step guide which will show you how to solve this.
Split the number (that we are trying to find a fraction of) into two equal groups because the denominator is two!
Denominator
Divide by this number
This is the same as saying 8 ÷ 2 8 altogether divided by the denominator
Count up how many are in one of the groups, this is because one is the numerator
Numerator
Times by this number
This is the same as saying 4 x 1 4 in a group times by the numerator
It would look like this in your book
Follow the step by step guide which will show you how to solve this.
Split the number (that we are trying to find a fraction of) into four equal groups because the denominator is four!
Denominator
Divide by this number
This is the same as saying 12 ÷ 4 12 altogether divided by the denominator
Count up how many are in one of the groups, this is because one is the numerator
Numerator
Times by this number
This is the same as saying 3 x 1 3 in a group times by the numerator
It would look like this in your book
Children always forget to look at the numerator! Follow the step by step guide which will show you how to solve this.
Split the number (that we are trying to find a fraction of) into four equal groups because the denominator is four!
Denominator
Divide by this number
This is the same as saying 16 ÷ 4 16 altogether divided by the denominator
Count up how many are in THREE of the groups, this is because THREE is the numerator
Numerator
Times by this number
This is the same as saying 4 x 3 4 in a group times by the numerator
It would look like this in your book
Follow to the next slide which has a variety of questions. The children can write out the question and solve it using the methods shown earlier.
