Unit I – Fraction Sums
This maths scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to model and record the steps that can be used to solve problems by adding and subtracting pairs of non-unit and mixed number fractions. The class can explain how to convert fractions to use the same denominators to add and subtract together.
Model and record the steps that can be used to solve problems by adding and subtracting pairs of non-unit and mixed number fractions
Lesson One : Fraction Lengths
Identify and convert pairs of fractions to the same denominators to compare different lengths of materials
Lesson Two : Fraction Calculations
Revise and illustrate how to add and subtract pairs of unit and non-unit fractions with the same denominators
Lesson Three : Fraction Additions
Explore and illustrate how to add pairs of fractions with different denominators by using their lowest common multiples
Lesson Four : Fraction Subtractions
Practise subtracting pairs of mixed number and non-unit fractions by converting denominators to their lowest common multiples
Lesson Five : Wholes and Parts
Investigate and record how to add pairs of mixed number fractions with different denominators
