MATHS - fractions and decimal fractions!

WOW!  We're really making progress with our maths work!

A big focus for Year 3 has been using our times tables knowledge.  We can use this for all sorts of maths...
What is the inverse of multiplication?  Do you know your fact-families-of-4?

As well as problem solving, we are now using our times tables knowledge to help us with fractions and decimal fractions.  Hopefully by now you will have discovered that 'fractions' and 'decimals' are not such scary words!

Other vocabulary we have been using in maths include unit fractions, non-unit fractions and tenths.

Have fun with the web-links below to scrub up on your understanding of how to use them...
