Fractions - Mixed numbers to improper - Starter

In a Year 6 mathematics lesson, students are tasked with a variety of exercises to sharpen their understanding of fractions and coordinate geometry. The lesson begins with converting mixed numbers to improper fractions, where students are expected to demonstrate fluency in this skill. They are then presented with a series of revision questions that challenge them to apply their knowledge of place value and fractions. Students must solve problems such as finding the missing number in a division equation, completing equivalent fractions, and performing calculations with mixed numbers.

The lesson also incorporates coordinate geometry, where students are asked to record the new positions of points after a translation. They must shift each coordinate four units to the left and three units up, demonstrating their spatial awareness and understanding of transformations on a grid. Additionally, the lesson includes exercises that require students to divide large numbers by 10, 100, and 1,000, reinforcing their comprehension of the effect of division on place value. Through these varied tasks, students engage with core mathematical concepts, enhancing their numerical proficiency and problem-solving skills.
