Fractions PowerPoint

This fully animated resource with fun monster characters invites pupils to consider a square divided into 18 triangles. Halves, thirds, sixths and ninths are displayed. The slides offer an opportunity to talk about what they see. This activity leads into 2 dice games. The first game, played in pairs, pupils take turns to roll the dice. On their turn they have to colour the correct fraction onto a copy of the square . The winner is the first to complete the whole square.The second is an open activity which challenges pupils to make up their own game for halves, fifths, quarters and tenths.
