We started by reminding ourselves that a quarter means 4 equal parts. To help us understand this practically, we used 4 paper plates to represent the 4 parts and carefully shared counting animals equally between them. The children worked brilliantly to count accurately, share fairly and check that each group was equal. We explored different amounts and used our practical resources to help us work out what one quarter would be. It was wonderful to see the children talking through their mathematical thinking, helping one another and using their understanding of equal groups to solve problems confidently. A fantastic hands-on maths lesson full of practical learning and great teamwork! ### Fractions in year 1 [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-c-of-e-c-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/fractions-in-year-1/A32B743C-488C-4B6A-A899-FBC4607B8C48.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-c-of-e-c-primary-school/images/gallery/fractions-in-year-1/A32B743C-488C-4B6A-A899-FBC4607B8C48.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-c-of-e-c-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/fractions-in-year-1/694CA591-5848-4488-A416-5E3E07B8BE2B.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-c-of-e-c-primary-school/images/gallery/fractions-in-year-1/694CA591-5848-4488-A416-5E3E07B8BE2B.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-c-of-e-c-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/fractions-in-year-1/B1077192-F530-4FA0-8626-DF7E5DBD2331.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-c-of-e-c-primary-school/images/gallery/fractions-in-year-1/B1077192-F530-4FA0-8626-DF7E5DBD2331.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-c-of-e-c-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/fractions-in-year-1/73EEBEE5-4E2A-460C-B10C-AF6374DD5A6C.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-c-of-e-c-primary-school/images/gallery/fractions-in-year-1/73EEBEE5-4E2A-460C-B10C-AF6374DD5A6C.jpeg) [Maths](https://www.st-andrews-cliftoncampville.staffs.sch.uk/blog/tag/maths) [ Creative Designers in Maple Class!](https://www.st-andrews-cliftoncampville.staffs.sch.uk/blog/2026-05-13-15-23-creative-designers-in-maple-class) [Standon Bowers ](https://www.st-andrews-cliftoncampville.staffs.sch.uk/blog/2026-05-17-12-48-standon-bowers) ![St. Andrew's CE Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-c-of-e-c-primary-school/images/logo/St-Andrews-footer-logo.png) ### St. Andrew's CE Primary School Main Street Clifton Campville Tamworth B79 0AP 01827 373 266 © Copyright 2024–2026 St. Andrew's CE Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.st-andrews-cliftoncampville.staffs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-c-of-e-c-primary-school/images/splash/Screenshot_2026-09-21_2.46.56_PM.png)
