This is a great tarsia on finding fractions of amounts, what is nice about this one is it brings in some context with questions such as 1/2 of 6kg and so on. This would make a great activity at any stage of a lesson and would bring about a lot of discussion which would help to root out any misconceptions. Thank you for sharing.
