We found 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and 1/5 with no problems!
However, when we were trying to find 2/3, 2/4, 3/5, etc we needed a little more help!
We got ourselves into groups. 1 person was the whole number and then, because we finding thirds, we shared the whole number by 3. We then knew that 1/3 of 27 was 9.
We then put 2 of the thirds together (to find 2/3). We recognised that we needed to add 1/3 (worth 9) to another 1/3 (worth 9). We could then work out that 2/3 of 27 was 9 + 9.
As you can see, we quickly caught on and then applied our knowledge to quarters and fifths.
Well done everyone - Fabulous Fraction Finders!
