Finding a quarter

by Fellowship Agency June 15, 2020

Are you learning about fractions? Try this simple What’s in my tray? activity to find quarters of objects.

Find a selection of objects
Get four containers and label them with 1/4 as pictured above.
To find a quarter, simply share the objects one by one into each of the containers.
When there are no objects left, count how many are in each container.
Each container should have the same number of objects if they have been shared equally.
One container is equal to one quarter (1/4).
In our picture above, 1/4 of 28 is equal to 7. There were 28 objects in total and then in each container there were 7 objects.
Can you find quarters of different objects in your home?
