SMARTIE MATHS

We were investigating fractions in maths. To help us with our investigations we all had a box of smarties. First we had to open the box and count how many smarties we had. Then we sorted the smarties into colour groups. Next we counted how many colours we had in each group. If we had 15 smarties all together and 4 of them were yellow we wrote that 4/15 were yellow. After we had written the fractions for all the colours we then added 2 colours together and wrote the fraction. Eg: red were 5/15 and blue was 3/15 all together it was 8/15.Finally we added all the colours together and found that they came to one whole 15/15. Lastly we got to eat them. YUM!!!
