Play Dough

I am learning to split play dough in half. Into fractions no matter what or how you cut your fraction a different way they are all the same.


Room 14 has been learning about fractions. We had to split the play dough( meaning as an eel) into equal parts. We had to cut our dough into equal parts with a bamboo stick.


We are doing this to help us with our fractions. Our class is learning to cut the dough eel and the chocolate into equal parts. Just like 1 half or 2 halfs.

The play dough felt smooth, squishy, soft and it felt like marshmallows. It smelt like salt and donuts. I felt like eating it but that would be yuck so I couldn't.


I think it was fun and amazing splitting up the play dough. Now room 14 knows how to do fractions. And i hope next time we are going to do some different fractions and get better and better at fractions.

How to make play dough: To make play dough you have to have to use flour, salt, boiling hot water and if you want to make it colorful you will need food colouring.
