Colouring in fractions sheets.
Different shapes of which there is an amount to colour in below each shape.
This lesson was a nice change and the children enjoyed just chilling and colouring in for once!
Have fun! :)
KS2 printable, differentiated Four in a Row Games for Finding Fractions of Amounts, also known as Fractions of Quantities / of a Set / of a Group / of Whole Numbers etc. Ideal activities for lesson starters and early finishers tasks. Originally made for revision and consolidation in Year 5 and 6 but might suit other years too. Answer keys included. Please check the preview to see if the calculations provide an appropriate range of challenge for your students.
SAVE by purchasing this as part of a Fractions of a Amounts Activities BUNDLE (coming soon), along with my Fractions of Amounts Differentiated Treasure Hunt, which can be purchased separately if required.
You can also purchase it as part of my bigger Fractions Activities BUNDLE, along with Hidden Word Puzzles for a variety of Fractions concepts.
If you prefer, you can also purchase the Fractions Puzzles Worksheets as part of my Fractions, Decimals and Percentages BUNDLE
Print and laminate the Four in a Row boards for regular use. The boards were originally designed in A3 to work especially well with larger groups but you can scale it down to print in A4 if required or preferred. There are 6 game boards, two for each level of challenge, indicated with a star system, with one star being the least challenging. The one star version includes only unit fractions of small numbers. The two star version includes fractions of larger two-digit numbers, while the three star version progresses to fractions of three and four-digit numbers.
Students work strategically as pairs against pairs or one against one to get four correct answers in a row - horizontally, vertically or diagonally. They roll a dice each time to decide from which column to pick a calculation (the columns are numbered 1-6). If there are no calculations left in the column whose number they have rolled, they either skip a go or roll again (depending on the rules you choose). Student write their answers on the board with a dry-wipe marker. They can either use a different coloured marker to record answers on the board or add an initial or symbol if using the same colour as their opponent. Answer keys can also be printed for student checking.

A lesson all ready to go.
The objective for pupils is to use their knowledge of equivalent fractions to develop an understanding of the links between percentages and decimals.
Stater activity checks understanding of comparing two fractions through equivalent fractions.
The first main part of the lesson uses knowledge of equivalent fractions to convert fractions to decimals and percentages by converting to an equivalent fraction out of 100.
Pupils then learn to convert fractions to decimals and percentages through using short division, introducing recurring decimals.
Pupils then practice applying their new knowledge to ordering a mixture of fractions, decimals and percentages.
And finally pupils review their learning through Fractions decimals and percentages BINGO.
Feedback Appreciated
A neat Powerpoint demonstrating equivalent fractions with worksheets to go with it. Students have to find equivalent fractions and determine missing numbers within fractions. Ideal for an introduction for KS2 or low ability KS3 learners.
Smartie investigation to explore fractions. Children have to sort smarties onto matching coloured circles. Next they have to write total in each circle and write matching fractions. Would be useful for year 2,3 or LA year 4.
Two lessons on converting between Fractions and decimals.
Lesson 1 - Converting decimals to fractions using knowledge of place value and simplifying fractions. Includes BINGO as a plenary.
Lesson 2 - Converting fractions to decimals firstly through the use of equivalent fractions and then using short division methods. This is then summarised by getting the students to compare the two methods and to explain when each method should be used.
A nice way to introduce children to fractions, using Numicon and pegs to represent fractions. Can be done practically, or contains 5 activity sheets to support. A comprehensive lesson pack that could be extended over more than one lesson, fully editable task sheets.
Would you rather? Reasoning and problem solving activity for mixed yr 3/4 class. Involves finding fractions of amounts and then deciding ‘which they would rather’. Easily editable. Please review resource if it has been useful to you!
This resource could be used as a starter, and is designed for pupils to be able to work out the fraction of a shape. This could be adapted to work with percentages.
Two powerpoints and two worksheets based on mixed numbers and improper fractions.
Worked well in Year 4!
Low and mid ability worksheets included.
My HA moved onto simplifying fractions quite quickly and I used mastery challenge questions throughout the two sessions.
Powerpoints recap what a fraction is, what they look like and introduce improper fractions and mixed numbers. The two lessons seperate the steps to converting between them and introduce the MAD acronym.
Used this alongside starters of ordering fractions silently from smallest to largest and throwing in a few mixed numbers to challenge them!
