The new FUSE version Use a dividing tool to make equal shares of biscuits and toys in a pet shop. For example, share 34 biscuits equally between 6 puppies. Predict how many items each puppy will get, or how many packets can be filled. Check your prediction. Decide what to do with any leftovers. Complete a sentence describing the number operations. This learning object is one in a series of five objects.

The new FUSE version Use a dividing tool to make equal shares of sweets. Complete a sentence describing a number operation. For example, 17 jellybeans shared equally into 6 jars. Predict how many sweets will go into each container and identify how many sweets are left over. This learning object is one in a series of five objects.

The new FUSE version Use a dividing tool to make equal shares of toys in a pet shop. For example, share 33 toys equally between 7 kittens. Predict how many items each kitten will get, and how many leftovers there will be. Complete a sentence describing the number operations. This learning object is one in a series of five objects.

Put blocks (or balls) into the cups on the scales to make them balance, using the number rules A = B + C and A + B = C + D. Use your knowledge of addition and multiplication to help you work out how many blocks you need in each cup. Finish the number sentence to show an equal number of blocks on each side. This learning object is a combination of three objects in the same series.

The new FUSE version Use a dividing tool to make equal shares of hardware items such as nails, bolts or screws. For example, pack 32 bolts into packets of 3. Predict how many packets can be filled and how many items will be left over. Check your prediction. Complete a sentence describing the number operations, including the fraction of a packet remaining. This learning object is one in a series of five objects.

The new FUSE version Use a dividing tool to make equal shares of stationery such as pens, pencils or crayons. Complete a sentence describing a number operation. For example, pack 24 crayons into packets of 5. Predict how many packets are needed and identify how many items are left over. This learning object is one in a series of five objects.

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.

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.
