WOW Lesson

Description

This lesson helps children explore the links between simple fractions, decimals and percentages using two powerful concrete resources: Tens Frames and Abacuses. One of the big challenges in the teaching of fractions is providing children with consistent and powerful concrete resources which can then become pictorial representations for the abstract numbers children work with. This lesson is designed to provide children with concrete experiences to underpin their understanding of fractions, decimals and percentages.
