Soon some of us discovered that, as long as we kept the same rods in each quarter, we could change the pattern around within each of the quarters and they would still be equal.
Then we recorded what we had learned in our copies.

Fractions with cuisenaire rods
Today in Maths we experimented with making fractions with cuisenaire rods. We were learning to show that each quarter in a fraction has to be equal. At first we found it really hard but once we realised that we only had to make each of the four quarters the same we had lots of fun making quarters in different ways!
Soon some of us discovered that, as long as we kept the same rods in each quarter, we could change the pattern around within each of the quarters and they would still be equal.
