Our Fraction Gumball craft is a hands-on and engaging activity that will see students produce a colourful gumball machine while developing their fractions of collections knowledge.   Using the templates provided, students will construct and decorate a gumball machine with 8 gumballs using the gumball template or a range of craft materials, such as coloured dot stickers, pom poms, sequins, tissue paper or buttons. They will then write a description of their gumball machine’s gumballs with reference to halves, quarters and eighths.   In addition to recognising fractions of a collection, students will practise a range of important skills during this lesson, including cutting, pasting, designing and writing.   Sure to engage and delight your students, this lesson will assist with fractions of collections understanding and create a colourful classroom display. A banner is included to assist with displaying the completed craft.
