This Year 1 Fractions Mistake Investigators resource is designed to strengthen children’s reasoning and problem-solving skills by encouraging them to identify and explain mistakes.

For each objective, children are given four possible answers: one correct and three incorrect. Their task is to spot the mistakes, choose the correct answer, and explain their reasoning.

The questions are ideal for group work, sparking discussion and collaboration. They focus on key fractions objectives:

Recognising, finding, and naming a half as one of two equal parts of an object, shape, or quantity.

Recognising, finding, and naming a quarter as one of four equal parts of an object, shape, or quantity.

If you’re looking for a resource that helps children develop reasoning skills while becoming more confident and investigative learners, this is the perfect choice!
