Fraction Art

Today in room five we used fractions to make a picture. Our theme for it was the ocean. First of all, we had to cut out some circles and fold them in half and then we had to fold them again and we would end up with eighths and then again to get sixteenths. The creature with teeth was made out of 1 half, 3 eighths and 2 quarters, and the teeth were just cut out triangles.A few of us watched a video to give us an idea. Special thanks to this person: Sunshine22854 who inspired us to make these pictures. We had to make sea creatures out of the shapes we made. Here is mine.

As the sun disappeared over the horizon John, Rosalina, Jeffy and Bobbit teeter tottered towards the mist. The fog thickened as they got closer to grandma’s castle. Rosalina was a very sensible mother and was the only women in the family of four. Bobbit was the big brother who enjoyed to annoy his little brother Jeffy. John was the grumpy old dad who wasn’t looking forward to Rosalina’s grandma’s 100th birthday party.
