Lesson Objectives:
To be able to use a multiplier to find equivalent fractions.
To be able to simplify fractions using a multiplier/divisor.
Starter: Class activity where students write as many possible equivalent fractions on mini-whiteboards to common fractions.
Progression: Using multipliers to find equivalent fractions.
Plenary: Fraction Bingo Game to embed and assess student learning in a fun way.
Lesson objectives:
Students to be able to identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations.
Includes; numbers lines, groups of objects, abacus using tens and ones, Cuisenaire rods, Numicon, words and figures. The lesson allows students to compare sets of objects and differently represented numbers using the language of ‘equal to’, ‘more than’, ‘less than’, ‘fewer’, ‘most’, ‘least’. (1N4)
2 lessons, includes step by step guide, worked examples, practice questions and exam style questions.
Objectives:
To understand and use negative powers. (grade 5)

Year 1 Fractions lesson featuring a series of questions on Sharing in Halves and Quarters. This is the complimentary lesson to “Halves and Quarters”.
Designed to develop a greater understanding, and give students more practise. The questions uses pizza slices, biscuits and flowers as examples of objects to be shared. This interactive version allows students to drag these objects so they can be shared.
Includes, worked examples, Mastery and Mastery with depth questions.
Lesson Objectives:
a) To be able to recognise halves and quarters from diagrams and fractions. (1F1a)
b) To be able to recognise equivalent fractions, halves and quarters from diagrams. (1F1b)
2 lessons:
Lesson objectives to solve equations with unknowns on both sides, including equations with brackets.
Includes; step by step guide, worked examples and practice questions.
The big idea is to rewrite both sides of the equation to eliminate like terms. Hence the phrase “Same Value, Looks Different”. It uses money to show that you can can have the same value, but in different ways. Hence, you can rewrite any equation in any way as long as you do not change the value.

Objectives:
Add & Subtract fractions with common denominators.
Add & Subtract fractions with different denominators.
Lesson objective:
To be able to find the area of triangles.
The lesson uses students pre-existing knowledge of areas of rectangles and parallelograms to workout how to find areas of triangles. Through a series of worked examples, students should realise that some triangles are either half a rectangle, or half a parallelogram, and hence gain a better understanding of how the formula for the area of a triangle works.
Includes; worked examples, practise questions, and a plenary.
