Well boys and girls there is another birthday today…… Tom in our class is 5 today.

Topic Maths: (See Topic maths booklet in homework pack)

Fractions- Making links

• Butterfly wings are mirror images of each other. Therefore know they have the same  number of spots on each wing etc.

Therefore if there are 3 spots on 1 wing there will be 3 on the other wing. This is why knowing our doubles is handy.

• We can also do the process in reverse-

    If a butterfly has 4  spots altogether.

    We know each wing must have the same number of spots.

    I/2 the spots are on 1 wing and ½ on the other wing.

    Can we use our doubles to help?

                           _______ +________ = 4       each wing has 2 spots

Work though the butterfly worksheet.
