Inspired by Steve Wyborney's Tiled Area Questions https://stevewyborney.com/2017/01/tiled-area-questions/. This Low-Floor-High-Ceiling (LFHC) Inquiry can be accessed and/or extended by all students. It has been used successfully with students from Yr 2 - Yr 6 in Australia. It is a great formative assessment task to determine students' conceptual understanding of fractions, and their exisiting understanding and skills with: - equivalent fractions - adding, subtracting and multiplying with fractions - converting improper fractions to mixed numerals - looking at things from different perspectives
