Maths Evidence


Walt : find fractions of sets by using multiplication and division eg. ⅓ of 21 is 7.

Question: Jane has 30 balloons and is sharing them with her friends Kelly and Sofia. Kelly gets 1/6 of 30 balloons, Sofia gets 3/6 of 30 and Jane gets the rest of the balloons that are left. How many balloons does each friend get?

Answer:

My Reflection

We have been learning to find fractions of a set by using our multiplication and division facts.

I understood that I needed to divide the amount in the set by the denominator eg. 21 divided by 7 is 3. I found writing my own question quite difficult because I have not wrote my own fractions question before.

Next time I will come up with more difficult questions to answer.
