This maths teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to investigate and model how to select and measure lengths to match one quarter of different measurements that have been recorded in whole centimetres.

The class can explain and illustrate how they can combine the selected sets of four equal quarters to re-make the whole length of string to match the total number of centimetres.

Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to investigate and model how to select and measure lengths to match one quarter of different measurements that have been recorded in whole centimetres

Activities in this teaching pack include a set of cards to identify and record the matching sets of fractions that are one quarter of different lengths of string that have been measured in whole centimetres when working with concrete equipment to identify each fraction length.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to measure lengths to match one quarter of different measurements recorded in whole centimetres.

This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to find and illustrate fractions that are quarters of different shapes, quantities and numbers using concrete equipment and diagrams to model calculations and show equivalence to halves. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
