Arithmetic – one third of numbers and calculating 2/3
Below is an outline of how to develop skills in quartering numbers.
- Count in 3s and write the numbers in order, e.g. 0, 3, 6, etc
- Multiply all the numbers up to 12 by 3 and write the calculations, e.g. 1 x 3 = 3, 2 x 3 = 6, etc.
- Divide the totals 3 and write the calculations, e.g. 3 ÷ 3 = 1, 6 ÷ 3 = 2, etc.
- Write the division calculations as fractions, e.g. 1/3 of 3 is 1, 1/3 of 6 is 2, etc
Extension
