What a wonderful week of learning! Faizan says, "This week, we have been learning about fractions!".
Jahmai explained, "A non-unit fraction has a numerator which is not 1."
Isla said, "Unit fractions can only have a numerator which is 1."
Parker said, "We began the week by learning about unit fractions, and today we have learnt about non-unit fractions."
"For unit and non-unit fractions, they can have different denominator. The denominator is how many parts a whole has been split into."
"In our maths lessons, we have been learning about parts and wholes," explained Rayyan.
Natalie explained, "The numerator is the number on the top, which shows me how many parts I have, and the denominator tells me how many parts the whole unit has been split into."
Jaxson summarised this by saying, "the bigger the denominator, the smaller the part."
