Eli halved a recipe for pancakes, worked out ½ of 240g flour, then ¼ when we ran low on milk. We talked about how 2/4 is the same as ½. He drew the fractions on the back of the recipe.

03 · Reports, where Hearth is different
Not just a report. A clear story of learning.
Hearth brings together structured subjects, narrative progress, and saved evidence. The result is a report that is easy to read, easy to understand, and grounded in real learning.
The report visuals below use fictional demonstration details. Hearth organises selected records and evidence; the parent writes the narrative.

A Hearth report
EEli spent much of this term making sense of fractions through cooking, halving recipes, splitting a tray of pancakes between four, and noticing that two-quarters and a half are the same thing[1]. He wrote the four-chapter story “The Lighthouse”[2] across three weeks, returning to it each morning, and read it aloud to his sister on the last day of term[3].
Reports stay connected to the original notes, photos, files, and dates. You can show where the story came from without digging through folders later.
Eli’s confidence with equivalent fractions grew steadily through the term, anchored in everyday contexts, most clearly in a baking session in late April[1].
Capture what happened, see the pattern build, then create a report when you need one.
