Week 10: Fraction Project
This week we will be working on a fraction project in groups of 3. We will be using everything we have already learnt about fractions to complete 3 different tasks. Every class we will be planning and executing different tasks, so it is really important we come to school feeling refreshed and ready to learn!
In the first class, we will be given the instructions all about our fraction project, and each group will receive a fraction, and a fraction project booklet. All the tasks will be based around this fraction, and we will use the fraction booklet to plan our tasks. Before and after each task we will complete our metacognition chart to get the grades for M1 and M2.
