This week in maths we were learning about equivalent fractions. Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value but do not look the same. For example, 4/6 and 2/3 are equivalent fractions because they both represent two thirds.
One of our tasks was to try these Transum activities. There were four different levels and I did them all.
The activity I enjoyed the most was Level 3 where you had to find equivalent fractions because I learnt how to do it quickly and then it was easy.
The maths I had to use for this task was to figure out what number the denominator had been multiplied by and then multiply the numerator by the same number.
Being able to understand fractions can be important in cooking when you are adjusting a recipe to cook for different numbers of people.
Here is a picture of my task 3 and 4 activities.
Nikau, awesome effort with your maths work this week. It is great to see the connection you have made with maths being used for cooking. I hope you have had a chance to try some cooking over lockdown.
