Fraction Pairs

This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to practise using the symbols for less than and greater than to compare pairs of unit and non-unit fractions using diagrams to support each comparison.

The class can identify and record how to divide sets of rectangle shapes to illustrate different unit and non-unit fractions so that their matching values can be compared.

Download this teaching pack including classroom activities and an interactive presentation to practise using the symbols for less than and greater than to compare pairs of unit and non-unit fractions using diagrams to support each comparison

Activities in this teaching pack include a differentiated set of worksheets to identify and record how to compare non-unit and unit fractions using the symbols for less than and greater than when working with pictorial diagrams to support each fraction comparison.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use the symbols for less than and greater than to compare pairs of unit and non-unit fractions.

This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to practise using pictorial diagrams to record the values of different unit and non-unit fractions so that they can be ordered and compared. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
