This Year 2 Fractions Mistake Investigators resource includes a range of carefully designed questions which will help to strengthen children’s reasoning and problem-solving skills by encouraging them to identify and explain mistakes.

For each objective, there are four questions with one correct answer and three incorrect answers. Children are encouraged to spot the mistakes, decide which answer is correct, and explain their thinking.

The questions are designed for group work, to spark discussion and encourage children to work together. They cover key fractions objectives, including writing simple fractions and recognising the equivalence of two quarters and one half.

If you're looking for something that will help your children develop their problem-solving skills and help them to become more investigative learners, this resource is the perfect choice!
