Place Value Basketball helps you to understand the concept of hundreds, tens and ones. You need to recognise the Dienes base ten blocks and match to numbers up to three digits on the basketballs.

Place value is a difficult concept and this game can help you to know the value of each number depending on its position.

As with all of our games, Place Value Basketball works well on an interactive whiteboard.

Odd One Out activities are suitable for all age groups. By encouraging all pupils to 'have a go' and 'valuing all contributions', the skills of reasoning, communicating and expressing are developed. Success is based on skills rather than answers. It also allows every pupil to partake in the activity, no matter what their ability.

Examples of questions/prompts to promote classroom discussion:
● Which one do you think is the odd one out?
● Give me a reason.
● Try to give me another reason why that one might be odd.
● Who had a different answer?
● Give me a reason why each one might be the odd one out.

Take a look at this short video from our 'STEM in a Bubble' webinar which explores 'Odd One Out' activities further. A complete recording of this webinar along with the resources referenced is available here.

Below you will find some Odd One Out stories to try with the pupils in your class. For more examples, see http://wodb.ca/

Use this interactive online fraction bars tool to help students visualize and understand fractions. This free fraction bars tool is great for exploring fractions through operations, equivalent fractions, and modeling.

To use the tool, press the arrows to change the numerator and denominator. As you do so, the fraction bar below will adjust to represent the fraction visually. Once you've chosen your fraction, you can click, drag, and drop it onto the chart above. To remove fraction bars from the chart, click and drag them off. Or, you can simply put another fraction bar on top of the others. Conveniently, the colors of the bars change to make comparing the fractions easy.

Wondering how to use the online fraction bars too? Here are some ideas:

Ask students to display a fraction and put it on the chart as a fraction bar (ie. 1/2). Then, ask students to display an equivalent fraction bar (ie. 2/4).

Ask students to model operations involving fractions.

Invite students to compare fractions by displaying various different ones on the chart. Which fractions show more than half? Which show less than half? Which show more than a quarter?

A headline story is a set of information presented in words or pictures, providing the setting for a problem without the actual problem. Pupils are challenged to create maths questions, which can be posed and solved, based on the information presented.

By creating their own questions, pupils are using language in a meaningful context at their own level. The questions pupils create can be very revealing and could be a useful assessment tool. These activities are very practical in the multi-grade setting as the pupils are all working at their own level with just one stimulus. Through effective questioning, the teacher can either support or extend pupils' thinking.

Take a look at this short video from our 'STEM in a Bubble' webinar which explores headline stories further. A complete recording of this webinar along with the resources referenced is available here.

Students often struggle with the concept of fractions. This interactive fraction strips tool helps students visualize fractions. With these online fraction strips, students can model fractions, solve fraction problems, explore equivalent fractions, and observe the differences between denominators.

To use the interactive fraction strips tool, click and drag the strips onto the canvas. You can drag as many of each fraction as you'd like. To remove the strips, drag them off the canvas. Change the chart to accommodate two whole units by pressing the "Unit Double" button. Add annotations using the pencil tool and erase using the eraser. To clear the canvas, press the trash can button.

A few activities you can do with students while using the online fraction strip tool include:

Have students model a given fraction, mixed or not. For example 1 1/4 or 3/6.

Ask students to model addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division problems using the fraction strips.

Ask students to find equivalent fractions for a certain fraction. For example, how many sixths are equivalent to 1/3?

Ask students to use the pencil tool to divide one of the wholes on the chart into fourths. Then, students can check their work by dragging fourths onto the chart afterward.

Looking for more fraction manipulatives? Try our interactive fraction circles.

For students, decimals are often a challenging concept to grasp. This interactive decimal strips tool helps students model and visualize decimals. When using the online decimal strips tool, students can model, explore, and compare decimals. Additionally, the decimal strips are a useful interactive tool for modeling and solving operations involving decimals.

Using the interactive decimal strips tool is easy. Simply drag the decimal strips on or off the canvas. Modify the chart so that two whole units can be displayed by clicking on the "Unit Double" button. Write on the canvas using the pencil button and click on the eraser symbol to erase. To clear the whole canvas, click on the trash can symbol.

Here are a few suggestions for using the interactive decimal strips tool:

Ask students to model a given decimal such as .25 or .70

Ask students to model and solve an operation involving decimals.

Invite students to drag various decimals onto the canvas and compare their values. You can even have students write statements using , and = signs.

Visit classplayground.com for related decimal printables such as strips, decimal place value charts, and more.
