Fractions

In this lesson, we will explore different ways of representing fractions including as part of a whole, as a number, as a result of division and as part of a set.

Recognising fractions as different representations

In this lesson, we will identify fractions of quantities for unit fractions only (where the numerator is one).

Calculating unit fractions of quantities

In this lesson, we will use fraction bars to help us recognise equivalent fractions.

Recognising  equivalent fractions

Recognising equivalent fractions (2)

In this lesson, we will identify fractions of quantities for non-unit fractions (where the numerator is more than one).

Calculating non-unit fractions of quantities

In this lesson, we will take a closer look at equivalent fractions. We will explore the relationship between the numerator and denominaor in pairs of equivalent fractions.

Equivalent fractions

In this lesson, we will use pizza problems to explore the connection between fractions and division.

Fractions and division

In this lesson, we will compare pairs of fractions. We will compare pairs of fractions with the same denominator, and then we will compare pairs of fraction with different denominators.

Comparing fractions

In this lesson, we will order a set of fractions with denominators that are multiples or factors of each other. We will place them in order on a number line.

Ordering fractions

In this lesson, we will learn about mixed numbers and learn how to read, write and represent them.

Using mixed numbers

In this lesson, we will learn about improper fractions and learn how to read, write and represent them. Then we will begin to relate improper fractions to mixed numbers.

Using improper fractions

In this lesson we will explore representations to connect mixed numbers and improper fractions, before using multiplication more formally to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions.

Converting mixed numbers into improper fractions

In this lesson, we will use bar models to support our understanding of adding fractions where the total does not exceed one.

Adding fractions (up to one whole)

In this lesson, we will use bar models to support our understanding of subtracting fractions and create our own subtraction problems involving fractions.

Subtracting fractions

In this lesson, we will explore fractions that total one or greater than one using fraction bars to support understanding.

Adding fractions (with a total greater than one)

In this lesson, we will explore subtracting fractions involving fractions greater than one using fraction bars and number lines to build our understanding.

Subtracting fractions (2)

In this lesson, we will solve word problems which require us to find unit fractions of quantities.

Calculating unit fractions of quantities (2)

In this lesson, we will solve word problems which require us to find non-unit fractions of quantities.

Calculating non-unit fractions of quantities (2)

In this lesson, we will use bar models to solve word problems that compare fractions of quantities.

Comparing non-unit fractions of quantities

In this lesson, we will apply our knowledge of fractions to three reasoning problems.
