Fraction Sums Eighths
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to practise selecting and calculating the matching eighths of different numbers working with standard written number calculations for division and multiplication.
The class can explain and model how to use written calculations correctly to find non-unit fractions which show the matching eighths of each selected number.
Download this teaching pack including classroom activities and an interactive presentation to practise selecting and calculating the matching eighths of different numbers working with standard written number calculations for division and multiplication
Activities in this teaching pack include a set of differentiated worksheets to select sets of numbers that can be used when calculating different numbers of eighths for each selected number using standard written calculations for multiplication and division.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to calculate the different numbers of eighths for a range of numbers working with standard written calculations.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to identify and record how to calculate the non-unit fractions of different numbers by using formal written division and multiplication calculations. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
