Shelly the turtle plants flowers in 3/5 of her 100-square garden to show that 3/5 = 0.6 = 60%. Learn to convert by making the bottom number 100, then convert 7/20 yourself and learn the key ones by heart.
Momo the monkey shares 12 bananas into 4 baskets and gives 3 baskets to her friends, showing how to find ¾ of 12: divide by the bottom, times by the top. Then help Percy the penguin find ⅖ of 20 fish.
Pip the panda cuts her bamboo cake into halves, quarters and eighths to show that ½ = 2/4 = 4/8. Learn the trick of multiplying the top and bottom by the same number, find how many twelfths make ¾, and see how simplifying works.
Put ½, ⅜ and ¾ in order from smallest to largest. Pip the panda changes every fraction to eighths (4/8, 3/8, 6/8) so they can be compared, using fraction bars to see it. Then order 2/3, 5/6 and 7/12 yourself, and learn the shortcut for fractions with the same numerator.
