Find non-unit fractions of a number of objects (2,3,5,8,10)

The CanDoFractions workbook from Buzzrad Publishing provides a comprehensive approach to teaching children how to find non-unit fractions of a number of objects. The numbers in focus for these fractions are 2, 3, 5, 8, and 10, which are commonly used in primary education to build a strong foundation in understanding fractions. The workbook is designed to help students visually and practically engage with fractions by dividing sets of objects into equal parts. Through a series of well-structured activities, children are encouraged to explore the concept of taking a fraction of a set, such as half, a third, a fifth, an eighth, or a tenth, and determining how many items are in each part.

The activities within the workbook are varied and interactive, involving illustrations and exercises that require students to apply their knowledge. This hands-on approach is intended to solidify students' understanding of fractions in a relatable and tangible manner. By working through the exercises, children learn to confidently work with fractions as part of a whole and develop their mathematical reasoning skills. The workbook is also structured to cater to different levels of ability, ensuring that every child can progress at their own pace while being challenged appropriately. The emphasis on visual learning aids, such as pictorial representations and grids, supports the internalisation of fraction concepts, making the learning experience both effective and enjoyable.
