Shape and Fraction Cookies

We are learning about different 2D shapes and fractions. 

First we cut our biscuits into a shape: a kite, pentagon, hexagon or trapezium.
We chose a shape we didn't already know.

We then made icing. We needed to measure accurately and think carefully about what we know about fractions.
We worked out how to measure 1/4 tsp of butter
We needed to add 4 tbs of icing sugar but we had a 1/2 Tbsp measure
so
1/2+1/2+1/2+1/2+1/2+1/2+1/2+1/2=4 tablespoons

After icing and decorating our cookies with m&ms we worked out the fraction of colours we had used.
