Counting in Fractions - PowerPoint

In an engaging and educational PowerPoint presentation, Year 2 students are introduced to the concept of counting in fractions, specifically halves and quarters. The lesson is structured to guide children through the process of incrementally adding fractions to whole numbers to reach the sum of ten. It begins with counting in halves, where students learn to add ½ to each successive number, starting from zero and working their way up. The presentation is designed to be interactive, encouraging pupils to use a number line as a visual aid to help them understand the concept of counting by fractions.

Building on the foundation of counting in halves, the lesson then transitions to counting in quarters. Students are shown how to add ¼ each time, starting again from zero. The PowerPoint slides provide clear and concise examples of how to count in quarters, with a number line illustrating the sequence of fractions leading up to whole numbers. To reinforce the learning, the presentation includes worksheets where students can practice filling in missing numbers, using the number line to assist them. This hands-on approach aims to solidify their understanding of fractions and their ability to count in fractional increments.
