Balance scales by using blobs. Using unit ratios, such as 1:3, 2: 1 or 1:4, explore how many black blobs and white blobs balance each other. Discover the rule that balances the scales with the correct number and type of blobs. For example, 2 black blobs balance 1 white blob. Find out how many black blobs balance 2 white blobs. Build a number pattern. Then use the rule to solve a problem by moving blobs to make the scales balance. This learning object is the first in a series of three learning objects.

There are five levels to work through. In level 1 you simply type in the number of children to share the pizza and the pizza will be cut into fractions for you. At Level 2 you drag fractions to complete a fraction wall. In Level 3 you have to count the number of shaded squares and the total number of squares then type in the fraction (use a slash e.g. 1/4). Level 4 introduces a fraction numberline for you to drag the fractions onto. Level 5 uses a pizza to illustrate fraction equivalences.

1 online games about fractions

Explore ways of representing decimals using mathematical notation and visual tools. Match a decimal fraction between 0 and 1 such as 0.7. Adjust units on a range of visual scales and other representations. Work with a random selection of two of these representations: common fraction, number line, counting frame, dial, array and pie chart. Match at least three decimals with each tool. This learning object is one in a series of nine objects.

This programe features seven video clips that are designed for teachers to use on their interactive whiteboard when teaching literacy. Suitable for Years 1 - 7, each of the short clips sets up an environment or a narrative that can be used to fire the children's imagination. An alluring jewellery shop, a ghostly graveyard and a tunnel with a warning are just three of exciting story starts included.

Balance scales by using blobs. Explore how many black blobs and white blobs balance each other. Discover the rule that balances the scales with the correct number and type of blobs. For example, 2 black blobs balances 1 white blob. Find out how many black blobs balance 2 white blobs. Build a number pattern. Then use the rule to solve a problem by moving blobs to make the scales balance. Go on to balancing scales with black, white and grey blobs. This learning object is a combination of three objects in the same series. Students identify that one item can be used to represent a value of more than one. Students predict the numerical relationship (ratio) between two or three types of items. Students analyse number sentences and record the equivalent relations.
