Lesson Two – Halves and Quarters

This maths teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to identify and record the fraction equivalence between fractions for one half and two quarters using different shapes to model the equivalent sections.
The class can explain and model how to divide a range of different shapes to indicate how fractions for one half and two quarters can be identical in their values.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to identify and record the fraction equivalence between fractions for one half and two quarters using different shapes to model the equivalent sections
Activities in this teaching pack include a differentiated set of worksheets to identify and record how to divide a range of different shapes to indicate equivalence between fractions for one half and two quarters to illustrate their matching fraction values.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore the fraction equivalence between fractions for one half and two quarters using different shapes.
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.
