We have been using fractions in music, to create rhythms. We used food words with different numbers of syllables, to help us remember what fraction of a whole note to play. For example, Taro has two syllables, which we played as 2 halves of a note. Come and see our display in Room 6, where you can try to clap out some of the rhythms we made.
Wow! Room 6, I am impressed with your rhythms using fractions. What a cool trick to use words with different syllables to help you all keep in time. I might try this with my maths group in Te Waka Ako sometime soon.
