When exploring the relationships between numbers, one of the most significant is the highest common factor. With the help of a wonderful magician and his rabbit, discover what highest common factors are, how multiplication and division help us to find them, and how easy they are to calculate! Show Less

Fractions are one of fundamental mathematical concepts that we use every day, and what better way to introduce them to young students than with a party? Join Lily at her birthday party to learn about fractions using a delicious carrot cake and some colourful party hats. We look at what fractions represent, how we can show an equal share of something as a written fraction, and what ‘numerator’ and ‘denominator’ actually mean! Show Less

When we talk about time, we often mention duration. Calculating duration, or elapsed time, is a fundamental life skill that your students will learn with this Miniclip! Using real world examples such as birthday parties, bus trips, and visiting a friend’s house, your students will learn useful mental strategies to help them calculate duration using both digital and analogue clocks. Show Less
