Colour in fractions 2

Hi everybody!We wanted to come back and explore this idea in our colouring fractions game of 2 halves being equivalent to 2 quarters + 2 eighths + 3 twelfths as we can see here.

So we wanted to show you a strategy that you can use to help prove that this is an accurate way of describing or renaming 2 halves. And so to help me do that, I've taken a copy of my game board and I have a pair of scissors and I'm just going to cut those sections out.

Excellent! And so now what I have is part of what I said was two halves and the other part of what I said was two halves and I actually have inside of this 2 quarters, my 2 eighths and 3 of my twelfths. And if I take them and lay them over the top of the halves line I can see that 2 quarters is the same as one half and if I join 3 twelfths with 2 eighths, that also turns out to be equivalent to another half, and so that's how I can say 2 quarters and 2 eighths and 3 twelfths is the same as 2 halves, or in fact, how I can prove it.

Now what we're wondering is how many different ways could you make 2 halves?

Over to you!
