Exploring with fractions

In Tī Kōuka we have been exploring what a half looks like and what a quarter looks like.

Today T14 used their own measuring cups that they had made to make salt dough. To make the measuring cups they used water to work out where to put the half and quarter measure.


To make the salt dough they used 
1/2 c flour
1/4 c salt
1/4 c water.


They then had to roll a snake.
The challenge was to make a snake half the length of the first snake.
The extra challenge was to make a snake a quarter of the length of the first snake.
