Lesson Three – Fraction Additions
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to explore and illustrate how to add pairs of fractions with different denominators by using their lowest common multiples.
The class can identify and explain the steps that can be followed when converting a pair of fractions to use the same matching denominators so that they can be easily added together.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to explore and illustrate how to add pairs of fractions with different denominators by using their lowest common multiples
Activities in this teaching pack include differentiated worksheets to model and record how to add pairs of fractions with different denominators by using their lowest common multiples to make it easier to complete each of the calculations sums.
The interactive presentation gets the children to identify and explain how to convert a pair of fractions to use the same denominators so that the fractions can be added together.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get 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. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
