Fractions and a tiny bit of History

A brief brief overview of fractions: how to write and interpret them along with some history of how the 1/3 of a pound (lb) burger failed and a 3,500 year old fractions question!

Editor's notes

Love the burger story and the touches of humour throughout. Engaging and bound to prompt discussion. :)
