A complete lesson for first teaching how to find a fraction of an amount.
Activities included:
Starter:
A matching activity, where pupils pair up shapes with the same fraction shaded.
Main:
- Some highly visual examples of finding a fraction of an amount, using bar modelling.
- Some examples and quick questions for pupils to try (these don’t use bar modelling, but I guess weaker pupils could draw diagrams to help).
- A set of questions with a progression in difficulty, from integer answers to decimal answers to some sneaky questions where the pupils need to spot that the fraction can be simplified.
- An extension task where pupils arrange digits (with some thought) in order to make statements true.
Plenary:
A nice visual odd-one-out puzzle to finish, that may well expose a few misconceptions too.
Optional, printable worksheets and answers included.
