Maths - Home Learning - Monday 27th April 2020

This week, we are focusing on Fractions. Read about each lesson below. Each one has a link to a video on YouTube. Within each video, there are questions for you to answer or tasks for you to do. These can be completed in the exercise book that you were sent home with in your pack.

Lesson 1 Develop understanding of equivalent fractions through quantity, area and number line models

This lesson starts by reminding you how to identify a fraction of an amount.

Remember the stem sentence: ‘The whole is divided into ___ equal parts and we have ___ of them.’

Then it looks at when two fractions are equal and how these can be represented using the area model and then as a position on a number line. 

At the end of this lesson, you will be asked to show a fraction using the three models of quantity, area and number line. 


Lesson 2 Develop understanding of equivalent fractions through measuring and pouring context

This lesson shows you another way to visualise (that means draw a picture in your head) fractions using measuring and pouring. 

You are asked to get some water and a straight-sided cup or jar to support you.

Think about how you can connect this idea with a number line. 

Do you remember the name: equivalent fraction

‘Sometimes two fractions have the same value. We call these equivalent fractions.’ 


Lesson 3 Use the relationship between the numerator and denominator to identify equivalent fractions

In this lesson, you will look at the relationship between the numerator and denominator in equivalent fractions.
