Maths
In maths, children will develop their understanding of fractions, learning to identify and find equivalent fractions for both unit and non-unit fractions. They will explore the relationship between improper fractions and mixed numbers, practising how to convert between the two representations. Children will learn to compare and order fractions less than and greater than one, using their understanding of numerators and denominators to justify their reasoning. They will then apply their knowledge to adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator, adding fractions to make totals greater than one, and adding fractions to mixed numbers and adding two mixed numbers together. Finally, children will develop their subtraction skills, learning how to subtract fractions and subtract fractions from mixed numbers. Throughout the unit, they will use practical resources, visual representations and mathematical reasoning to deepen their understanding, explain their methods and solve a range of problems involving fractions.
