Mrs Tubby told us that she remembers that the 'denominator' is the bottom number because she thinks of 'd' for downtairs number.
In our activity we had a piece of card which was split into 2 halves. We also had some flash cards which had 1/2 written on one side and an equal number written on the other side. We had to work out the 1/2 of the number by counting out the number of counters and sharing them out between the 2 halves. We then wrote number sentences in our books to show the answers, such as; 1/2 of 12 = 6.
We understood this well and really enjoyed the activity.
Great maths skills Year 2!
