Lessons from Africa 18: Marie-Roses’ Busy Day – Arithmetic Activities

About This Primary Resource

This activity aims to help your pupils think about how Marie-Rose’ day is divided up into work, school and play and colour in the activities that fall under each category. Depending on their ability, you can then start to talk about how you could use fractions to talk about the amount of time spent doing each activity.

This resource has been kindly shared with us by Lessons from Africa, which is the education programme run by the charity Send a Cow.
