Today, year 3 were lucky to have a visit from Mrs Foley from the Maths Hub and she introduced us to fractions. We looked at parts and the whole. After discussion, we came to the conclusion that the parts are always smaller than the whole. The whole can be represented by anything. For example, If the head is the whole, the eyes are part of the whole. If the body is the whole, the head and arms are part of the whole. A whole can also have more than 2 parts. We concluded that the whole is the sum of all the parts. We also looked at the part whole model to help us visualise the whole and the parts.
