We are learning to find fractions of amounts today and tomorrow. Today we were working in the Box Office for Wembley Stadium! We had to work out the new prices if the tickets were reduced. E.g. If a JLS ticket costing £45 was reduced by 1/5 what was the new price? This meant we had to link to our earlier learning and use subtraction too as well as division.
Some of us chose to use unit fractions where the numerator is always ‘1’. Others chose to use fractions with other numbers in the numerator such as 2/3.
Children who felt really confident chose challenge 4. These children were working with numbers where they had to use their knowledge of place value e.g. VIP pass = £4500 and is reduced by 2/5. What is the new price?
Can you explain how to find fractions of amounts?
Can you remember the steps to success?
What is the rule that you need to remember when finding fracions of amounts?
Please set your own question below ad explain how you would solve it.

Are you finding the steps to success helpful?
I find fractions really fun and enjoyable.Yes Miss Martindale i think the steps to success really help!!:)
i like doing fractions.I now know what equivelent fractions are:-)
I really enjoyed doing this and I had a lot of fun. here is one of thee examples:
4/5 of 55=36
Because
1/5 of 45=9
9×4=36
You divide by the bottom and times by the top!
yes miss martindale i am finding the steps to success helpfull
There very helpful and I think the easiest because all it is is:”divide by the bottem”
wembuley stadem cool man
