Are you looking for a hands-on activity to help students apply their understanding of eighths in a meaningful context?
Students cut out and glue 8 train carriages onto the page to build a whole train, label each carriage as its fraction (1/8 through to 8/8), and draw 2 wheels underneath each one. They then use their completed train to answer questions about eighths, halves, and quarters of the whole length.
What's included:
3 differentiated worksheets
Paper strips for folding and cutting — one plain strip and one scaffolded strip with pre-marked sections
Answer keys included for easy checking
