Fragtions, Doozimals and Gorgcentages
Free
On a trip around my local record and charity shops I found the 7 inch single of the Fraggle Rock (a popular 1980s children’s TV show featuring muppet-like creatures) theme tune. Having posted a picture of my find on social media it was suggested that I should write a maths resource involving them and this is what occurred. It is essentially fractions, decimals and percentages (you probably guessed that from the title) and involves finding the fraction of an amount, comparing fractions, equivalent fractions, decimals, percentages, percentage of a number and repeated percentage change. The presentation includes links to the theme tune and uses the characters from the show. The last video link now updated.
