This in-depth maths investigation is an open-ended problem solving activity for Year 3 children. It can be used to support teaching towards the objectives: Develop the concept of fractions.
In-depth Investigation: Fraction Bets
Children look at fractions and make a hypothesis of which ones are closest. They then test this out by placing fractions on a line.
This investigation will develop maths meta-skills, support open-ended questioning and logical reasoning, and enable children to learn to think mathematically and articulate mathematical ideas.
This problem-solving investigation is part of our Year 3 Fractions block. Each Hamilton maths block contains a complete set of planning and resources to teach a term’s worth of objectives for one of the National Curriculum for England’s maths areas.
