Fractions Wall

Breeze, Imogen and I are learning to made a fractions wall. First we had to cut twelve pieces of paper the same length.  First we glued one whole strip, then we folded another strip in 1/2 before cutting it in half and gluing it on our wall. We repeated this process in 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9, 1/10, 1/12ths. We saw patterns when we cut 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/12. We saw another pattern when we cut 1/3, 1/6 and  1/9.  We saw another pattern with 1/5 and 1/10.

Making 1/7 was so hard because I did not know if it was the same length. 1/2 was easy because you just had to fold it once then make sure it was the same length then stick it on with a glue stick.
