The 5/6 students have enjoyed adding the Arts into the STEM curricula by creating their own energetic and colourful fraction kites! This hands-on activity helped engage students into a new unit of work in Math about fractions & is an awesome diagnostic tool for assessment. The students loved learning that fractions are parts of a whole amount while creating their explanation key, featured on the tail end of their kites. 
Some students further extended their understandings by converting their colour-coded keys into number stories explaining them in decimals and percentages too.
“So, there are 100 squares on the grid and each fraction together has to equal the whole amount”
