    L134 Dynamic fractions

    • Published 10/04/2020
    • TLF-ID L134

    Use a tool to explore how to express fractions and display them in different ways. Create a grid with a number of rectangles ranging from 1 to 100 (up to a 10x10 array). Select boxes within the grid and view or enter corresponding fractions and their equivalents. Interact with a dynamic number line to express fractions differently. Change display options to set task difficulty. Make your own question and answer games.

    L126 Park fractions

    • Published 10/04/2020
    • TLF-ID L126

    Help a town planner to design two site plans for a park. Assign regions on a grid for different uses such as picnic tables, swings, sandpits or ponds. Use this tool to explore how to express fractions and display them in different ways. Select boxes within the grid and view or enter corresponding fractions and their equivalents. Interact with a dynamic number line to express fractions differently. Move on to a harder activity where you first set the site dimensions to make a grid. This learning object is a combination of two objects in a series.
