Engage your students in a hands-on activity that combines sorting leaves with learning about percentages, fractions, and decimals. This outdoor activity encourages students to collect and categorize leaves, then convert between percentages, decimals, and fractions, reinforcing their math skills in a fun and interactive way.

Teaching Structure:

Before starting this activity, ensure students have a basic understanding of fractions and how to convert them into percentages and decimals.

  • Take students outside and have them collect a specified number of leaves (adjustable based on ability).
  • Guide them through completing the provided table by sorting the leaves into groups and calculating the corresponding fractions, percentages, and decimals.

This pack includes four levels of differentiation:

  • Level 1: Students calculate the percentage after collecting and sorting 10 leaves.
  • Level 2: Students calculate the fraction, percentage, and decimal after collecting and sorting 10 leaves.
  • Level 3: Students calculate the fraction, percentage, and decimal after collecting and sorting 20 leaves.
  • Level 4: Students calculate the fraction, percentage, and decimal after collecting and sorting 15 leaves.
