This Year 2 Unit Fractions Supporting Activity provides an example game which could be played with an individual child, pairs or a small group of children. This activity has been created as a way for children to find unit fractions using practical materials. Children will reveal a fraction, count out an amount with counters and find the given fraction using the counters.

This activity could be set up as a practical activity within your lesson, or could even be used as an extension. The possibilities are endless!
