Making Fractions and Making Numbers
Practical approaches to fractions, decimals and using manipulatives
These two invaluable Professional Development handbooks are packed with engaging activities to build your children’s mathematical understanding. Making Numbers draws on the latest research on using manipulatives to develop mastering of counting, place value and calculation. Focusing initially on teaching number 1-12, the book progresses to 200 and beyond, including ideas for teaching partitioning, arrays, and times tables. Making Fractions uses manipulatives and story contexts to represent fractions and decimals in different ways, bringing the concepts to life and encouraging confidence and fluency.
- Based on the authors’ Nuffield Foundation-funded research, offering a wealth of practical ideas that are easy to implement in your classroom.
- Suggestions support questioning, investigation and problem-solving.

Review

This is an excellent book, full of practical ideas to help develop children’s understanding of number. The images used show how you can use everyday resources to help develop children’s understanding of number without needing to spend lots of money on new resources, and the small snippets of research help you to understand why the activities suggested can help children to understand number. It is written in an easy-to-read style and can be dipped into and out of, a great tool to help support planning for maths in the EYFS. It even covers trickier concepts such as introducing addition and subtraction, and gives you advice on how to make this meaningful for children to understand.
