Breakfasts and Transport

A chart of 32 pupils marked in eighths for cereal, toast, fruit and nothing. Then a chart of 60 people marked in sixths for car, bus and bike.

How teachers use it

Warm-up

Start with the pets chart, which only has halves and quarters. Pupils say each fraction aloud before they touch the total of 24.

Finding one part

For questions 3 and 4, ask pupils to find the value of one equal part first, 32 divided by 8 and 60 divided by 6. The rest follows.

Mixed groups

Pupils who find fractions hard can stay with questions 1 and 2. The rest do all four and check each total adds up.
