Understanding Fractions 10 different ways

(0)
This resource encourages pupils to have a wider understanding of fractions and the different situations they describe - Words, Diagrams, Decimals, Ratios, Words & Numbers, Facts, Percentage, Scale, Objects and the Fraction itself! The imagined use of this Excel sheet is that a fraction is given to (or chosen by) the student and then the student shows the fraction in its 9 other forms. This is best done by working on a printed copy of the Excel worksheet. However, the examples provided show that ICT capable pupils can complete the sheet by using picture tools in Excel and searching online. The printable sheet is provided both in colour and in black-and-white. There is also a basic black-and-white version which does not include ratios. The resource can be used to give pupils a wide understanding of where fractions can appear. It can be used for classwork, homework, poster work and is aimed at lower to middle ability KS2, KS3 maths.

Written Four Rules Error Spotting - Misconceptions

(0)
Excel worksheet in which every all 20 sums have been done incorrectly. Pupils are to explain the common error in each question. Aim is for pupils to demonstrate a deeper understanding of written methods (column, adding on, gelosia and bus shelter). At an easier level, pupils can circle or highlight the error (or change its colour if done on computer). At a harder level, pupils can explain the common error made. Working through the written method correctly brings most of the errors to light. Very good for discussion, revising and learning written methods, diagnosing issues and encouraging checking work - I tell the pupils ALL the errors have come from pupils’ work!
