Abstract	As part of the Contemporary Teaching and Learning of Mathematics Project (CTLM), the mathematics education team at Australian Catholic University has the privilege of working with principals, teachers, students, and parents in schools in the Melbourne Archdiocese. A particular highlight is the opportunity to work alongside project teachers and their students in developing worthwhile and relevant classroom activities. In this article, the authors describe one such activity, Colour in Fractions, including its evolution, the mathematics which it has the power to address, and some hints for teachers using it for the first time. They provide a detailed outline of the purpose and benefits of its use. (Contains 4 figures.) (ERIC).
