Fractions and a tiny bit of History

A brief brief overview of fractions: how to write and interpret them along with some history of how the 1/3 of a pound (lb) burger failed and a 3,500 year old fractions question!

Editor's notes  

Love the burger story and the touches of humour throughout. Engaging and bound to prompt discussion. :)

Easter chocolate FS maths tasks E1 E2

A revision task for Entry 1 and Entry 2 Functional Maths, based on the City and Guilds assessments. Includes comparing weight and prices, calculations with money, and 3D shapes. 

There is a 'running' version and a worksheet.  The running version is designed to be cut into strips. Students work in pairs or small groups on question 1 and one person 'runs' to the teacher when they have written the answer on their strip. If the answer is correct, the teacher gives the next question to take back to their partner.  This can get competitive!
