Fractions can be hard to deal with unless we have something with which to test out ideas. A major bonus in this lesson is, once the lesson is over, you get to eat the resources. :)
Smarties have always been a favourite of mine as well.
I absolutely hated fractions when I was at school. I really didn't understand them, and couldn't see the point. BUT - if my teacher had explained them using Smarties then I might have understood them better. You lucky bunch!

ReplyDeleteThat sounds really fun. I love smarties! I bet smarties made fractions much easier and more fun. Especially the eating at the end!
