The task - design a canal system to bring water to pre-industrial factories.
By splitting and joining canals, students explore different fractions.
This can start simply with fractions based on halves or thirds but with adding fractions (by joining canals) they can get more complicated.
The activity can be done using simple numbers (out of 36), diagrams using a 6 by 6 square or using fractions. Students get a chance to see multiple representations of the fractions as they explore.
