Maths Refection week 2

Learning Intention - I learnt what is Numerator and Denominator and ordering fractions.

Me and my group learnt what is halves (1/2), quarters (1/4), thirds (1/3), and lots more.
Denominator is how many  pieces it was cut into and the Numerator is how many pieces was eaten. We went on an activity that Miss G told us and we had to order the fractions from the greatest to the lest and the lest to the greatest.

Denominator is the number in the bottom and the numerator is the number on top.
