Jesus: Quote:
What is 3 wholes and 5 6ths plus 4 wholes and 3 6ths equal
Hi Jesus,
You can add the whole bits easily enough 3+4=7wholes
now look at five sixths + three sixths
Draw a circle - (that is a picture of a cake)
Now cut you cake into 2 halves
now split each half into 3 pieces.
So altogether your cake has been cut (with a pencil) into 6 equal pieces.
Each piece of cake is One 6th (or 1/6) of a cake
Colour in 5 of those (1/6) pieces.
Now you need to add another 3 of those (1/6) pieces
I don't think that there are enough pieces of cake to do this so you better draw another cake and cut the new cake in to 6 pieces just like you did with the first one.
If you don't have enough pieces on your first cake just keep going onto your second cake.
now how much of your cake have you coloured in?
I want you to answer and tell me how far you have now got on this question.
Over to you.
