**
Before this activity students need to have an input on working out fractions and converting them to percentages and decimals.
Take students outside and ask them to collect the specified number of leaves (ability dependent).
Get them to complete the table by sorting out the leaves into certain groups before working out the fraction, percent, and decimal.
This pack contains 4 levels of differentiation.
Diff.1: Students will work out the percentage after collecting 10 leaves and sorting them into groups.
Diff. 2: Students will work out the fraction, percent, and decimal after collecting 10 leaves and sorting them into groups.
Diff. 3: Students will work out the fraction, percent, and decimal after collecting 20 leaves and sorting them into groups.
Diff. 4: Students will work out the fraction, percent, and decimal after collecting 15 leaves and sorting them into groups.

This activity is a great lesson to do before our ‘simple addition’ task cards as it’s slightly more adult led. Students will look at dividing a group of sticks into equal groups and seeing if there are any left over. It’s a great way to introduce multiplication and division to your students in a very visual and practical way.
Teaching directions:
Give your students an amount of time (1-2 minutes works well) to collect as many sticks as they can.
Come back together with their sticks and get them to work through the differentiated worksheets.
You can either let students complete the worksheet individually / in small groups or go through the worksheet as a group or class together.
As you go through the sheet, try to introduce them to vocabulary such as ‘divide, division, share, remainder, etc.
