This is an introduction to fractions of whole numbers. It starts by looking at parts of a fraction, making one (Whole) Uses an interactive online game that learners can complete as a class challenge. There is also tasks like completing a maze while also working out the fractions of whole numbers to go through. This is appealing and may go down well with young people. Learners have to complete differentiated fractions of whole numbers word problems. To sum the lesson learners look at some questions that help them to deepen their understanding of number.

Basic maths operations addition . subtraction, multiplication , division and the meaning of the equal sign. Balancing addition, subtraction, division and multiplication equations and solving basic maths operations word problems.

This can be used as a lesson starter, filler or to reinforce the addition and subtraction of money in a fun way. All learners start with a balance of of £120 however they can quickly find themselves with a healthy looking balance or a negative balance hence skint.
