This Year 6 Compare and Order (Denominator) Supporting Activity is a great way to engage children in their understanding of fractions. By playing the game 'Cool Comparisons', pupils will become much more secure in their learning. The activity involves rolling an 8-sided dice to create fractions and then drawing bar models to compare. This would be ideal in a small group or pairs.
