This cut-and-paste activity helps students match non-unit fractions across different representations, including words, symbols, fraction circles, and number lines. Designed for students in year 3 and year 4.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify and match non-unit fractions in different forms.
• Develop an understanding of fraction equivalence and representation.
• Strengthen problem-solving skills through a hands-on puzzle activity.

How the Activity Works:
Students are provided with four fraction puzzles, each containing different representations of a non-unit fraction. They cut out the puzzle pieces and match them correctly to complete each set. The activity encourages students to analyse the relationships between fraction words, symbols, fraction circles, and number lines. This interactive task helps consolidate their understanding of non-unit fractions in a fun and engaging way.
