 Math Number Workshop Find a fraction of a whole number!

Today we had number, last week at number we started to learn about a fraction of a whole number. This week we were continuing that.  It may sound complicated, but after a while you really learn every step off by heart.  Finding a fraction of a whole number is like your basic facts put together for you to learn something that will help you in your everyday life. Koka Pip was telling us how she thought that we would save the prove it task  for later and this week we would answer more questions.

The things you need to know to find a fraction of a whole number are, division, times table and reading fractions. The first thing you need to do is write down your question the question i'll do is 3/5 of 50. First you write down the whole number which is 50, then you write 50 divided by 5 equals 10 then you go 10 X 3 equals 30 then you know that the answer is 30.

In this paragraph I will show you the steps completely in words.

1. Write down the whole number

2. divide the whole number by the denominator ( the bottom number/ second number)

3. take that number and times it by the numerator ( the top/ first number.)

Then you have your answer.
