Paper Folding Fraction Fun by https://padlet.com/LauraMcFadden/cabtje2n0tgt Discovering through active learning en-us 2018-11-28 12:29:32 UTC 2024-07-19 18:59:45 UTC hello@padlet.com Group 1: Tadgh, Leila, Ava, Cameron LauraMcFadden https://padlet.com/LauraMcFadden/cabtje2n0tgt/wish/308730855 We made an interesting discovery when we folded two of our pages. The first page we folded into fours and another page into 8 parts.
We noticed that every piece on the page was equal.

We can say that 1/3 = 2/6]]> 2018-11-30 11:23:51 UTC https://padlet.com/LauraMcFadden/cabtje2n0tgt/wish/309713995 Group 3: Sadhbh, Croía, Kevin, John LauraMcFadden https://padlet.com/LauraMcFadden/cabtje2n0tgt/wish/309715500 Our group was able to fold our page into 16 parts. We noticed that when we coloured in 8 squares out of 16 that it was the exact same as when we covered in 1/2 of our sheet that had 2 equal parts and 2/4 of our sheet that was folded 4 times.
This means that 1/2= 2/4= 8/16]]> 2018-11-30 11:31:22 UTC https://padlet.com/LauraMcFadden/cabtje2n0tgt/wish/309715500 Group 4: Sam, Katie, Seán, Daniel LauraMcFadden https://padlet.com/LauraMcFadden/cabtje2n0tgt/wish/309716431 We tried to find different fractions that were equivalent to our main page that we folded into 8 eqiual parts. We first shaded in 2/8 parts and found that on the sheet we folded into 16 parts, the same space was covered when we shaded in 4/16 parts. 
When we coloured in 4/8 parts of the sheet, we realised that it was equal to 1/2, 2,4 and 3/6. ]]> 2018-11-30 11:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/LauraMcFadden/cabtje2n0tgt/wish/309716431 Group 5: Barry, Siobhán, Leanne, Darragh LauraMcFadden https://padlet.com/LauraMcFadden/cabtje2n0tgt/wish/309718353 We first folded our sheet in half. We noticed that half of this sheet was the same is 2/4, 3/6, 4/8 and  8/16. 
We couldn't find a way to shade in the sheet we folded into 3 to make it the same but we think this is because the denominator has to be an even numer. ]]> 2018-11-30 11:44:59 UTC https://padlet.com/LauraMcFadden/cabtje2n0tgt/wish/309718353 Group 5: Barry, Siobhán, Leanne, Darragh LauraMcFadden https://padlet.com/LauraMcFadden/cabtje2n0tgt/wish/309720399 2018-11-30 11:54:33 UTC https://padlet.com/LauraMcFadden/cabtje2n0tgt/wish/309720399
