Fraction Quiz

We have been learning about fractions.

What we have found interesting is that the more you cut a whole, the bigger the bottom number becomes.  For example, if we cut an orange in half the bottom number is 2.
But if we cut it into 8 pieces and give you one, then the bottom number is bigger  - 1/8 - but the pieces are SMALLER.

Also, why isn't quarters called fourths?  We wondered why, when there are thirds, fifths, sixths etc...

Well, the reason is because the French number four is quatre - and the Latin is quartarius and together they make the word quarter - four parts.
