In KS2 Maths, kids will discover more about fractions. Starting in Year Three, they'll understand that a quarter is the same as 1 divided by 4, and a half is the same as two quarters.
Imagine sharing a cake with friends; you're dividing it into fractions. Fractions are numbers less than a whole. Do you know that one third is written as 1/3, and three quarters is 3/4? Can you figure out how many thirds or quarters make a whole? And which is bigger - two thirds or a half?
Practice what you've learned in Maths by playing this fun quiz all about fractions. Test your skills and see how good you are at recognising their values!
