1 packet jelly crystals                                                 
200mL cold water 
 250mL  hot boiling water  

When we opened the jelly crystals we tipped them into a bowl. We had to be careful pouring the boiling water into bowl with the jelly crystals. We stirred and stirred until the jelly crystals dissolved into the water. [...]]]></description>

<font color="#0000ff">We wrote our own procedures to explain how to make and play the game. This procedure was written by Robert.</font></p>
<p><font color="#ff0000"><u>How to make a Fraction Game</u> </font></p>
<p><font color="#ff0000"><u>You will need:</u></font></p>
<ul>
<li>3 different coloured pieces of cardboard (4 of each colour)</li>
<li>lead pencils or texta</li>
</ul>
<p><font color="#ff0000"><u>Method:</u></font></p>
<p>1. Cut the cardboard into meduim sized rectangles.</p>
<p>2. Write a fraction on 1 card, a decimal on a another coloured card and a percentage on another colour. Make sure that the numbers match.</p>
<p><font color="#ff0000"><u>How to play</u></font></p>
<p>1. Turn the cards over so that the numbers can&#8217;t be seen.</p>
<p>2. Take turns to flip over 3 different coloured cards. If they match, keep the cards. If they don&#8217;t match flip them back over.</p>
<p>The winner is the person with the most cards after all cards have been matched.</p>
