This is an example of a range of thinking strips we have available for maths. Great for starting a lesson on adding fractions. This could be revisited at the end of the lesson and the class could be encouraged to discuss how their original ideas differ.

This is a nice activity to allow pupils to feel safe to make mistakes and also puts the teacher in the role of learner with their pupils. You're not going to know the answers any more than the pupils are, so it's a great activity to do together, making educated guesses and discussing each other's suggestions. Delete the scoop?
