 * Stage Two ||
 * //**NS2.4: Models, compares and represents commonly used fractions and decimals, adds and subtracts decimals to two decimal places, and interprets everyday percentages.**//
 * Indicators:**
 * Model, compare and represent fractions with denominators 2, 4, and 8, followed by fractions with denominators 5, 10, and 100
 * Find equivalence between halves, quarters and eighths; fifths and tenths; tenths and hundredths
 * Model, compare and represent decimals to 2 decimal places
 * Add and subtract decimals with the same number of decimal places (to 2 decimal places)
 * Recognise percentages in everyday situations. Relate a common percentage to a fraction or decimal
 * Perform calculations with money ||
 * Stage Three ||
 * //**NS3.4: Compares, orders and calculates with decimals, simple fractions and simple percentages.**//

It may start out that way, but soon you'll be cutting shapes that will puzzle you like never before. On completion see the percentage you cut each part into. A great way to learn about equal parts. From Stage 1 up. || and twelfths. When cards are matched, they disappear and points are awarded. As cards disappear from the array, the cards behind them become accessible. The game ends when all cards are matched or no more matches can be made. Players earn extra points for making two or more matches in a row. Stage 2 up. || Build two fractions that add up to a target number up to two. Complete the numerators of both fractions (one may have a fixed denominator). For example, work out how many thirds and how many sixths can be added together to total 4/3. Look at fraction bars and a number line to compare the two fractions and their total. S3 || students master the concept of naming simple fractions using pizza picture examples. Stage 1 up. || Level 2 teaches proper fractions as whole concept. Level 3 teaches proper as well as improperfractions as whole concept.Stage 2 up. || || FREE || **Freddy Fraction** Help Freddy find his way back home safely using fractions, decimals, and percentages to lead him back to his spaceship! Choose the space with the equivalent fraction to the listed decimal or percentage. Stage 3. ||

Our hens are mathematical experts and they will fire their eggs towards the correct answer. If your estimate is good the eggs will be caught in the nest but if you’re too far out it all gets very messy. ||

//Assessment Tasks// Students then design a different flag showing their knowledge of equivalent fractions and using the same fraction criteria as the first activity. Students are encouraged to approach the design and equivalent fraction representation in a different way in their second flag. A rubric and work samples are included. ||
