Playing with Fractions - Family Workshop

Join us for Playing with Fractions, a practical session designed for students in Year 5 to Year 10 and their accompanying family adult. 

Together we'll explore important ideas about fractions through playful activities and collaborative discussions.

Each ticket admits one pair of players; one family adult and one child. This is intentional and is part of our mission to support families with positive and inclusive ideas about mathematical learning and success. Feel free to send and questions you may have to alex@mathsplay.org

This workshop is for people who relate to one or more of the following...

• You're curious about exploring maths concepts in creative and inclusive ways
• You've often felt intimidated or disconnected from maths 
• You like the idea of practising important maths skills through in playful ways 
• You haven't yet had opportunities to enjoy learning about fractions.
• You're a student in Year 5 - Year 10. Please organise your adult guardian to register and attend with you!
• You're an adult guardian of a child completing Year 5 - Year 10 — please invite them!

Date & Time:

Tue 18th Feb 2025, 4:30PM - 5:30 PM AEDT

Doors will open at 4:15PM so we can be ready for a prompt start to our workshop!

Participants are welcome to hang around until 6:00PM to continue maths playing a little longer.
