Here is another idea that I never really developed but would be interested in further comments on how to use, just slide the pegs along the line, click on the questions pined up to reveal different ones, see what you think and please add your ideas.

That is a really cool idea, Mr. Stone! Thanks for sharing!

There's so many cool ideas in this Chris. I like the way the peg looks like it clips on with a small piece of line as a group - I haven't seen that done before. Restrictors are great too.

Number bonds is my favourite use of this one (I taught Year 2 for three years so I was always looking for new ways of showing this!)

You could also use the pegs to hang up t-shirts etc as a way of demonstrating the two times table.

As always, Mr. Stone, I am super impressed!

I totally wish I had time to create flipcharts like this! I need to take time to do all of this, don't I!?!

Thank you for your kind words as always Ben Posner, just take one of mine and alter it, make one for decimals say, or percentages with the same theme, once you start you will think of new ideas all the time

I like the fraction pegs Chris. It's always good to see some different ways of showing fractions as it needs a lot of practice! I like the sliding of the pegs. It's giving me an idea - I'll see if I have time to play with it over Christmas :)

Love this. It is nice to have one flipchart with several uses already embedded in it. This can also be used as a simple but attractive counter for 2 teams.

Like the idea of two counters angie, did you see the fractions one on a different thread?
