21st century educators are using more and more technology to enhance the teaching and learning in their classrooms, but the issue of online safety always remains. This article will help teachers find and create an internet safety curriculum to help guard against the pitfalls of online learning.
This activity takes you step-by-step through the process of working out a fraction of a quantity. For example, to find 4/5 of 35 it will first ask you to enter the answer to 35 divided by 5, then move on to ask you what is 7 times 4. There's a numberline at the bottom to help.
In this game from Count On you practise finding a fraction of a number. You can play it as a two-player game or a single player can play against the computer.
A fraction is shown on the screen and you have to decide whether it is more than a half, the same as a half or less than a half and click the correct button. You have to be quick though otherwise you will miss your chance to answer the question.
You can choose from easy or hard levels. The aim of the game is to compare the fractions and click on the one with the highest value. In the easy level you have four to choose from, but in the harder level you have six fractions to choose from
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.
