A fun and engaging lesson for upper KS2 but easily adaptable for lower KS2. Tried and tested in Y6 (upper mid-low ability). Pupils will use prior knowledge and extend learning of fractions of amounts and mixed number and improper fractions to work out ‘who done it’. Based on the popular game of Cluedo (most recently known as Clue) the task is to solve where, when and who committed the maths crime by calculating fractions of amounts, converting mixed number and improper fractions and identifying equivalent fractions. Perfect for Ofsted, an observation, an interview or in addition to your weekly teaching. *FIND LESSON PLAN IN FREE RESOURCES. *Find all supporting worksheets in our PREMIUM resources.
