Applets • Small applications on the internet which enable children to explore fractions. • You generally need to have need to have Java enabled to run these. • Speak to your technician if there is a problem. • Also can be used for challenges at home or in after school provision.

Just click on the appropriate box for many more . manipulatives. http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/vlibrary.html
Interactive Whiteboards • Use where you want to have the freedom to manipulate fractions – numbers of pictures.
Flash games • These tend to be more useful for practice and revision rather than open-ended exploration – so only use where this is what you want. • However, useful as very visual
Drag and drop activity – maybe useful revision for some pupils. http://www.ictgames.com/equivalence.html
