Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Solve fraction word problems in everyday settings such as cake eaten, water added and ribbon cut, and find fractions of amounts, following ค 1.1 ป.5/5.

What's in the worksheet

6 questions, multiple choice with 3 options - A whole cake with 1/4 eaten: what is left (3/4) - 3/4 of 40 (30) - 3/8 litre plus another 3/8 litre (3/4) - 1/2 of 1/2 (1/4) - A 6 m ribbon cut into 3/4 m pieces: how many (8)

How to use it in class

Use after multiplying and dividing fractions; about 6-8 minutes. - Play in teams and have them draw first, e.g. a ribbon marked in quarter metres - If many miss Q6, work out 6 × 4 ÷ 3 or count three-quarter pieces along a drawn ribbon - For Q5, fold paper in half and in half again to show 1/4 - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.

Common sticking points

- Q6: children multiply 6 × 3/4 to get 4.5, cannot find it, and guess 6 or 9 - Q4: adding denominators gives 6/16, which is offered - Q5: 1 chosen by reading 'of' as add - Q3: stopping at 10, which is only a quarter of 40

Play together first, then build on it with a worksheet for the same level.
