Question s 1. How many fractions have you found? Make sure you write these out clearly. 2. Use a calculator to change each fraction to a decimal. Write down what you find. 5. Which coordinates give you a fraction bigger than 1? Which fractions are less than 1? 3. Which coordinates give you whole numbers? 4. Which coordinates make a fraction of ½ ?

Amswers 1. There are 25 coordinates so we could write 25 fractions out. 2. (1, 0) (2, 0) (3, 0) (4, 0) because you can’t divide by zero! 3. (2, 1) (3, 1) (4, 1) (3, 2) (4, 2) (4, 3) all make fractions greater than (1, 1) (2, 1) (3, 1) (4, 1) (2, 2) (4, 2) (3, 3) (4, 4) 5. (1, 2) (2, 4) make ½
