This foldable activity consists of 2 differentiated cootie catchers (or fortune tellers) for learning or revising converting fractions to decimals. The children must look at the fraction given, convert it to a decimal, and fold back the paper to see if they’re right. It’s a great way to have students review their knowledge and not even realise that they’re learning! They’ll be engaged and excited with this addictive activity (as I am sure you will be too!).
This pack contains two Cootie Catchers, each with a second copy included if you would like your students to write the equivalent decimal for each fraction themselves. There are visuals included to meet different learning styles.
Folding and playing directions are also included.
Have fun!

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.

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.

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.
