Mathematics: Fraction

Newspaper Fractions

This is a great way to get your students up and moving.

Each student will need one piece of newspaper. Students place the piece of
newspaper out as a ‘whole piece’. The teacher plays some fun dancing music so that
the students can dance along on their piece of newspaper. When the music stops, the
students must pick up their piece of paper and fold it in half. They then start dancing
on half of the newspaper. Again, the music stops and they fold the piece of paper so
that they are dancing on only one quarter. Finally, they fold the newspaper so that
they are only dancing on one eighth of the paper.

An activity kids will love doing! They can then unfold their piece of paper to see the
folds in the paper. A great discussion can take place after this game about the
different fractions they created during this activity.

Topic:

Science: Body Parts

Whose Body?

Show students pictures of just one part of an animal’s body, and they have to guess
which animal it is and/ or which part of the body it is. This can be done by cutting up
flashcards or other pictures, by covering all but one part of an animal, by using an
OHP (overhead projector) and covering most of the picture, or similar things with a
“spotlight” or similar function on an IWB (interactive whiteboard). Alternatively, the
teacher or student can draw or trace the body parts from pictures, or draw them from
imagination.
