Maths Week Scotland

For this years MWS, we were celebrating maths through books! P6 were given ‘Fractions in Disguise’ to read. In this story, when a valuable fraction goes missing, George Cornelius Factor (a.k.a. GCF) vows to track it down. Knowing that the villainous Dr. Brok likes to disguise his ill-gotten fractions, GCF invents a Reducer—a tool that strips away the disguise, reducing the fraction and revealing its true form.

After reading the book, P6A had some fraction mysteries to sort too! We had to escape the fraction maze by simplifying fractions and spelling out a key word.

“We made it!”

We had lots of fun simplifying and finding equivalent fractions this week and look forward to learning more about it.
