Yummy Fractions

 

Main idea: Demonstrating understanding of fractions of a whole and of a set

 Outcomes:

N2.1          Understands the part/whole and set/subset nature of fractions

WM2.2      Represents mathematical questions using pictures

 Internet Links:

 

http://www.primarygames.com/fractions/start.htm   Interactive activity where students identify sections remaining in circular pizzas

 http://www.aaamath.com/fra.html   Comprehensive site on fractions and includes interactive activities where students identify fractions of a whole set

Miss Severity’s Class goes to the Circus

 

Main Idea: Counting multiples to solve a problem (Patterns & organised lists)

 Outcomes:

N2.1      “skip” counts multiple of 20c, 30c, 50c & $2

N2.4       Recognises patterns in multiples of 20c, 30c, 50c & $2

CD2.2    Uses organised lists to record data (running totals)

WM2.2    Identifies questions that need to be asked to help solve a    mathematical problem

 Resources:

Calculator may be required to assist students with counting on. Alternatively use a 100 chart
