Newspaper Fractions?

More Fractions Fun 


 We started with a whole piece of newspaper and folded it in half lots of times.

 We discovered: When we half a fraction the denominator doubles. When we half a fraction the denominator gets bigger. This means the the larger the denominator the smaller the fraction.


 Our fractions order was this: 1 - 1/2 - 1/4 - 1/8 - 1/16 - 1/32 - 1/64 - 1/128
