 * 'Try this

Take a sheet of notepaper.

Fold it in half.

Colour the top flap You have coloured half of the sheet.

It means you have coloured one part of two equal parts that make up a whole. (1/2)

Fold it in half again.

Colour the top in a different colour. You have coloured one part out of four (1/4).

Fold the sheet again another time. Colour the top using another colour pencil. Open the sheet out fully and see what fraction you have coloured. 22
