This NO PREP engaging fractions lesson (with financial literacy links) is designed to help children learn or practise how to find a fraction of a number. It is designed to be played as a whole class, however would work just as well in small groups.
The aim of the game is to collect as much ‘money’ (obviously imaginary!) as possible. In each round they will be given two options (e.g. 1/3 of $21 or ¼ of $28) and must try to choose the highest amount. They choose which ever they think is highest, work it out, and record it on their sheet. If they work it out incorrectly they do not get to keep any of the ‘money’. At the end the player with the highest score / amount of money is the winner.
I award a few more of our Multiplication Trading Cards as a prize which they love.
For those that need more support we have found it helps if they go with a partner that is able to support them.
This is a fantastic lesson to link in with financial literacy as the harder fractions are generally the highest amount. They need to decide if it’s worth the risk and attempt the harder one.

Children will get lost in their imagination and creativity with this fun and engaging story telling / writing activity. It is a great way to practise creating exciting stories, thinking carefully about describing characters and settings.
The children must select one of each card (character, lives, problem, & solution) and base their stories around each of the cards. The children will absolutely love it!
We have used this very successfully for a few days worth of lessons. The children spend the first lesson playing with the cards and enjoying telling stories. They then choose four cards, stick them in their books, and do a big write based on those cards they have chosen.
We hope you enjoy them as much as we have!

Two sets of pair cards to help children learn how to read one and four quadrant coordinates grids. They can be used in a variety of ways as a whole class, in pairs, or individually. We find them very effective a exit cards or even a fun extension activity for those early finishers.
Here are two ways that we have used them successfully:
Game 1: Give each of the children 1 card, get them to walk around and find the other person with the matching card. How quickly can they do it?
Game 2: In pairs, put all of the cards face down on the table. Take it in turns turning over two cards to try and find a matching pair. The person with the most pairs at the end is the winner.
