Fractions An Interactive Activity introducing thirds
We are going to slice our pizza into 3 equal sized pieces. Each piece is called a third.
1 whole pizza has been split into 3 equal pieces We write it like this. 1 whole pizza 3 equal pieces
We can do this with other shapes and objects too. Each third is the same size.
We can do this with numbers as well 1 = 1 of 3 3 1 of 6 = 2 3
Cutting these numbers in half is the same as dividing them by 2. 1 of 3 = 1 3 is the same as… 3 : - 3 = 1 These give us the same answer.
Now try these 1 of 6 3
6 - : 3
9 - : 3
1 of 12 3
