PAIR ACTIVITY





            To reinforce the understanding of fractions

            Things We Need: White sheets of paper and a pencil
            How To Do:

              1.  Make 2 sets with 20 slips of paper in each.
                                                         1 1 2 1
              2.  On one set, write fractions like  ,  ,  ,  , etc., one fraction on each slip.
                                                         2 3 5 7
              3.  On the second set, draw small pictures showing  the corresponding  fractions,
                   one picture on each slip.

              4.  Fold all the 40 slips and shuffle them well.                  1             1            2
                                                                                2             4            5
              5.  Each child will pick up one slip.
              6.  Every  child  will  unfold  the  slip  and  will  find

                   his/her partner by matching the fractions with
                   the pictures.







                            1                          1                             2
                            2                          4                             5






            Another Idea:
                                                          1 1 2
            Make slips of paper with fractions like  ,  ,  , etc., written on them, one fraction on
                                                          2 4 9
            each slip. Each child will pick up one slip and will represent the fraction written on
            it using pictures.
