Equivalent Fifths

This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify and record equivalent fractions to match different numbers of fifths using diagrams and number calculations for multiplication and division.

The class can show how different non-unit fractions can match other fractions with an equivalent value for their numerators and denominators.

Download this teaching pack including display posters, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to identify and record equivalent fractions to match different numbers of fifths using diagrams and number calculations for multiplication and division

Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify equivalent fractions to match different numbers of fifths shown using diagrams and non-unit fractions, cards to match different numbers of fifths recorded using non-unit fractions and worksheets to model equivalent fractions to match different numbers of fifths by recording pairs of diagrams and calculations to show the values of each non-unit fraction

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to record and illustrate fractions that are equivalent to different numbers of fifths by using diagrams and number calculations.

This lesson can support development in exploring the equivalence between different sets of fractions. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and an interactive presentation to introduce concepts and key skills.

  • Ordering and Changing

    Ordering and Changing

    Explore and record how to order three digit numbers by the place value of their digits and how the digits in a number change their numerical values when finding ten and one hundred more or less

  • Changing Hundreds

    Changing Hundreds

    Explore and record the matching number sums that are one hundred more and less than different three digit numbers to show changes to the place values of their numerical digits

  • Digit Changes

    Digit Changes

    Identify and record the matching number sums that are ten less than different three digit numbers by illustrating changes to the values of their hundreds, tens and ones digits

  • Changing Numbers

    Changing Numbers

    Identify and record number sums that are ten more than different three digit numbers using abacus diagrams to model their changing values
