These worksheets will be suitable for pupils aged approximately from P6 to S2.
- Fractions/Decimal/Percentages hexagon dominoes: a JPEG to print out and cut out (see picture on right).
- Cut the pieces out, mix them up
- One way of indicating whether the learner is successful is to see if the shape that they recreate is a rectangle.
- Worksheet in Microsoft Word format: Negative numbers and subtraction of decimals
- Diagram in PowerPoint format showing Equivalent Fractions
- this could be used as a resource to use to help with working during an equivalent fraction lesson
- an alternative possible learning activity could be to ask the learner to recreate the diagram accurately on squared paper (using a width of 24 squares would be helpful). Possible questions to go along with this could include:
- Why do all the eighths have to be the same size as each other?
- How are you working out how big to make the boxes in each row?
- How many 1/12s are equivalent to 1/6?
- What does the last row represent?
- What are 2 fractions that are equivalent to 1/8?
