Equivalent Fractions - Lesson 1

 

LO: to calculate equivalent fractions

 

Success Criteria:

 

SC1: I recognise that equivalent fractions have the same value;

SC2: I quickly recall and spot common equivalent fractions;

SC3: I identify and calculate common factors;

SC4: I identify and calculate common multiples;

SC5: I find simpler equivalent fractions by cancelling/reducing (dividing numerators and denominators by common factors);

SC6: I find more complex equivalent fractions by multiplying numerators and denominators by common multiples.

 

Differentiation:

 

Tricky: Work on Section B to start with. If you find this harder, move on to Section A. 

Trickier: Work on Section C to start with. If you find this harder, move on to Section B or A.

Trickier: Work through Section C to check your understanding. Then either choose the extension work provided or produce an explanation to teach others how to find equivalent fractions.

 

Tasks:

 

1) Watch my teaching introduction video. You might also want to use the Maths Is Fun link I have added below.

2) Work on the task of your choice (see above).

3) Mark your work as you go.

4) Use me as your teacher to help you understand questions and learning you find harder.
