Lesson Two – Fraction Thirds
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to explore how to identify and record matching sets of different non-unit fractions that are equivalent to the fraction of one third.
The class can practise using pictorial diagrams to illustrate how different non-unit fractions are equivalent to one third including linking the values of numerators and denominators in each pair of matched fractions.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to explore how to identify and record matching sets of different non-unit fractions that are equivalent to the fraction of one third
Activities in this teaching pack include differentiated cards for support, core and extension ability levels to record and match some different non-unit fractions that are equivalent to one third when working with pictorial diagrams to link pairs of fraction values.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to identify and record different non-unit fractions that are equivalent to one third.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to investigate, compare and record the values of different non-unit fractions using equivalence between their sets of matching numerators and denominators. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
