The Ben’s – Math through stories

Maths week Scotland took a creative literacy turn as The Bens developed their understanding of decimals, fractions & percentages through a story called ‘Pezzettino’ by Lio Lionni.

We explored the idea of the ‘part, part, whole’ model through Pezzettino’s quest to find someone he is part of, only to discover he is a whole made up of parts.
The Bens enjoyed working collaboratively in their groups to create their characters which were parts of a whole. It was joyful when they realised that they would need to collaborate with other groups to make wholes and complete the story.

We can’t wait to show everyone our very own Pezzettino inspired story soon!
