What children will practise

What's in the worksheet

6 multiple-choice questions - A cake cut into 8 pieces, 3 eaten: 3/8, with distractors 8/3 and 3/5 - 1/2 of 10 is 5 and 1/3 of 9 is 3 - 1/4 of 12 is 3 - Which fraction is greater than 1/2? 3/4 - 2/2 equals 1

How to use it in class

Use after teaching what a fraction means, 6-7 minutes, team mode. Give each team 12 counters. - For 1/4 of 12, teams split the counters into 4 equal piles and count one - For the cake, draw a circle in 8 parts, shade 3, then ask what fraction is left - For "greater than 1/2", lay a strip folded in halves beside one folded in quarters - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book

Common sticking points

- For the cake, choosing 8/3 by flipping the fraction, or 3/5 by using the 5 remaining slices as the bottom number. Stress that the bottom number is all the pieces - Choosing 4 for 1/4 of 12, giving the denominator. Share real objects - Choosing 1/4 as greater than 1/2 because 4 is bigger than 2.
