Activities

The cards can be used for a variety of activities to reinforce pupils’ knowledge and understanding of percentages, fractions and decimals.

Ordering

These activities work well if the children work with a partner:

1 Select cards which show percentages, fractions or decimals which the pupils have learnt. Shuffle the cards. Take three cards from the top of the pack. Pupils arrange in order of size. The activity may be extended by increasing the number of cards placed in order of size.

2. Using < > or =
Pupils are given the symbols cards.
They are dealt two of the number cards which they then arrange with the correct symbol card between them.

Matching

1. Print two sets of cards. Pupils can play “snap” with equivalent fractions and percentages.

2. Place cards face down on a table. Pupils turn over two cards; if they find a matching pair, they keep them. Otherwise, replace the cards face down on the table, trying to remember the position. Continue taking turns to turn over two cards until all matching pairs are found.

There are different combinations for playing this game.
Using blue (fraction) and green (decimal) cards
Using blue (fraction) and yellow (percentage) cards
Using green (decimal) and yellow (percentage) cards

3. For a real challenge, use all three colours. Pupils turn over and aim to match three cards!
