Making Fractions is an invaluable professional development handbook for classroom teachers and maths leads.
Grounded in contexts such as sharing and measuring, Making Fractions contains a wide range of engaging practical activities that progress gradually from halves and quarters to tenths and hundredths and beyond, to bring fractions and decimals to life.
Based on the authors’ Nuffield Foundation-funded research project, A guide to the use of practical tasks and manipulatives in the teaching of fractions and decimals with children aged 3 to 11, these practical ideas have been extensively trialled and are easy to implement in the classroom.
