Fraction pictionary is a great warm up in maths.  Primary 6 like to play this as it allows them to visualise fractions.

Primary 6 have been looking at linking fractions to real life contexts, thinking about when they might need to use their knowledge of fractions in real life.  They discovered many ways they would need apply their knowledge, for example, the cost of items in shops.  They were quite surprised to discover so many.  Linking learning to real life gives the learning more meaning and the class now seem to be feeling more positive towards fractions.

After exploring fractions in real life contexts, primary 6 followed instructions to decorate their pancakes where they had to be able to recognise the fraction and simplify it.
