Fantastic Fraction Finder
This fun fraction puzzle is great for your students when consolidating and learning about halves, quarters and eighths of shapes, objects and collections. A great group activity, students work together to match the pieces together!
Laminate for durability to reuse again and again in the classroom. This resource is great for small group activities and rotation sessions.
Learning goals
- We are learning to identify one half as two equal parts of a whole.
- We are learning to recognise halves, quarters and eighths of an object and to understand that a group of objects can be separated to show halves, quarters and eighths of the group.
- We are learning to recognise 1/2, 1/4, 1/3, 1/5 and their multiples to a complete whole and to locate fractions on a number line.
- We are learning to solve problems involving modelling addition, subtraction, equal sharing and grouping, using different strategies.
- We are learning to recognise halves, quarters and eighths of a whole and connect halves, quarters and eighths through repeated halving.
- We are learning to use halves, quarters and eighths in relation to shapes, objects and events in everyday situations, e.g. cutting a pizza, cup and spoon measures.
- We are learning to recognise 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/10 and their multiples to a complete whole and fractions of groups in different ways.
