We noticed so many things. There were more feijoas than persimmons and lemons. The feijoas were the smallest fruit. All of the fruits were round shapes. The 4 leaves on the top of the persimmon looked symmetrical (reflected).
We thought the fruit looked and smelled delicious. We wondered how we could share the fruit. Hmm...
So, we made some fresh fruit fractions. (We also love making alliterations!)
When we cut the lemon in half, that made one piece out of two pieces (1/2) and another one piece out of two pieces (1/2). We noticed that inside the lemon had triangular shapes that were reflected (symmetrical) and rotated. We cut the lemon into quarters.
We cut the persimmon into halves and quarters. The persimmon was symmetrical inside too! After that something funny happened... some sneaky earwigs crawled out from under the leaves. We took them to the garden so that they could find a new home.
We also cut the feijoas into fractions. The fruit smelled and looked delicious, so we gobbled it up.
What yummy maths!
