Lesson Five – Biggest Fractions
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to compare and order a selection of fractions with a range of different denominators by identifying their lowest common multiples.
The class can identify and explain how to use diagrams and calculations to show how to make each of the fraction comparisons so that they can be ordered from smallest to biggest.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to compare and order a selection of fractions with a range of different denominators by identifying their lowest common multiples
Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet to compare and order fractions with different denominators by identifying their lowest common multiples using diagrams and calculations and a set of cards to order fractions from their smallest to biggest values.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to compare and order fractions with different denominators by identifying their lowest common multiples.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to identify and illustrate how to change and convert the values of different fractions using equivalence, simplification and conversion between mixed and improper fractions. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
