Good morning, Year 4! Today, we’re going to go on an exciting adventure right inside a mysterious fruit basket! Imagine you’ve just walked into a magical orchard where every fruit can tell a story about fractions.
Once upon a time, in a land filled with enchanting forests, there lived a wise old owl named Ollie. One sunny day, Ollie decided to gather fruits for a grand feast.
Ollie found:
But wait! Ollie realised he needed your help to figure out how much fruit he really had when he shared it with his friends.
Ollie called upon all his animal friends, and everyone wanted to have some fruit. Ollie wants to share these fruits equally.
Let’s take a closer look at how we can help Ollie!
Step 1: Count the total fruits and write it down.
Step 2: Think about how we can divide the total number of each fruit into equal parts for the friends. This is where fractions come in!
Step 3: Draw a representation of the fruits, and label each portion with the correct fraction.
Now, let’s split into small groups. Each group will role-play as Ollie's friends and figure out how much fruit they will receive. Remember to use your fraction knowledge to explain how you came to your answers!
By the end of this lesson, you will not only help Ollie but also become fraction superheroes! 🌟
Are you ready to dive into the world of fractions? Let’s get started!
