Fractions Teacher Instructions

The booklet provided is an invaluable resource for Year 5 teachers aiming to deliver comprehensive lessons on Fractions. Each activity is carefully aligned with the specific Year 5 Fractions objectives, ensuring that the content is relevant and targeted. The booklet makes it easy for educators to identify the necessary equipment and resources for each activity, which are clearly listed. Additionally, symbols are used throughout to indicate whether an activity is intended for the whole class, smaller groups, or pairs, allowing for flexible and differentiated instruction.

Teachers have the autonomy to integrate these activities into their lessons in a way that best suits the needs of their pupils. Activities can be utilised at various points in a lesson: at the start to recap and assess previous understanding, in the main body of the lesson to reinforce new concepts, or at the end to evaluate the progress made. While these activities are designed to complement existing teaching materials, they offer an excellent opportunity for reinforcement, particularly for children who require additional support through intervention groups. Other supportive resources such as 'Fractions Target Boards', 'Fractions Loop Cards', 'Fraction Calculations Four in Four', and more Fractions resources are available on the KS2Gems website to further enrich the learning experience.
