Fractions, mixed numbers and decimals.

Hi


I have shown a couple of PowerPoints to my Maths group to help them understand fractions, mixed numbers and how to convert fractions to decimals. These have been taken from the Primary Resources website which is excellent as a teaching tool. If you wish to log on to this site the address is: primaryresources.co.uk (this is not a link). Primary Resources has everything you need to educate a child from Early Years to Year 6, covering every subject - it really is worth a look.


This is the maths page relating to fractions and decimals:

Please have a look through the PowerPoints to see what your child has been learning, here are the titles of 2 we have seen:

• Numerators and Denominators  by Natasha Duffy (it has a yellow 4 next to it which relates to year group).
• Fractions (Paul Rigby)

Have a look - there are also lots of worksheets your child can use for consolidation and revision.

Thanks.

Maths Games - Fractions to decimals.

Hi everyone


I've been playing a few games from a maths games site. I haven't had time to play them all but the few I chose were good. At the moment we are covering fractions and decimals - have a look to see what they've got to offer:

Happy playing,

Numeracy - Fractions

Hi all

Next week in Numeracy (w/c 15.1.12) we are learning about Fractions. Your child would have covered this before but as a bit of revision they will really enjoy playing 'Fraction Flags'. It covers half and quarter (but you can change it to make it more challenging) and they would have seen it before in class. Please follow the link and have a go:

http://resources.oswego.org/games/fractionflags/fractionflags.html

Just click on the colour with the fraction on and colour the flag with that colour, making sure you only colour the fraction of the flag the colour tells you to!

They'll enjoy this one too:

They'll figure this one out easily! Just make sure the numerator (top number) is how many are coloured in yellow and the denominator (bottom number) is how many segments there are altogether (white and coloured yellow).


Hope they have fun!
