Lesson Two – Fraction Calculations
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to revise and illustrate how to add and subtract pairs of unit and non-unit fractions with the same denominators.
The class can select and record pairs of matching fractions that can be added and subtracted to match each fraction sum for mixed number fraction sums.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to revise and illustrate how to add and subtract pairs of unit and non-unit fractions with the same denominators
Activities in this teaching pack include differentiated worksheets to select and record pairs of unit and non-unit fractions that can be added and subtracted together to make different mixed number fraction sums
The interactive presentation gets the children to identify and explain the steps that need to be followed when adding and subtracting a pair of fractions with the same denominators.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to model and record the steps that can be used to solve problems by adding and subtracting pairs of non-unit and mixed number fractions. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
-
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
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
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
Identify and record number sums that are ten more than different three digit numbers using abacus diagrams to model their changing values
