Fold a small rectangle piece of paper into thirds
using horizontal folds. Shade 2/3 of the paper yellow. Then, fold
the paper into fourths using vertical folds and shade 3/4 of the
yellow part blue.
There are 6 green sections, so 6/12,
or 1/2 of the paper is green. You have found that 3/4
of 2/3 is 1/2. You can rewrite
this using math symbols as
3/4 * 2/3 = 1/2
Now try folding paper and shading sections to find 1/2
of 1/2, 1/2 of 3/4,
and 2/3 of 9/10 and rewrite these as math
symbols in your journal. Include your shaded paper in your journal.
