This lesson explores how to compare fractions by using multiples to find the common denominator, and why - perfect for developing an understanding of fractions through clear explanations, thought-provoking challenges and real-life scenarios.
Students will find common denominators between two fractions through playing an engaging card game with different creatures and powers, before explaining the importance and usefulness of comparing fractions, and how, in an independent task.

Fractions & Mixed Numbers | Whole Unit | Lesson Notes, Slides & Activities
This purposeful unit for **fractions and mixed numbers** includes 6 lessons, and embeds real life scenarios and the sustainable development goals (SDGs) throughout: **Lesson 1** - explores how to add and subtract fractions with different denominators by using common multiples. **Lesson 2** - focuses on how, when and why to add mixed numbers with the same and different denominators **Lesson 3** - identifies how, when and why to subtract mixed numbers with the same and different denominators. **Lesson 4** - provides a platform for your students to apply their understanding of adding and subtracting mixed numbers through a range of problems to solve. **Lesson 5** - investigates the relationship between fractions and division, and how to convert any fraction to a decimal through this lens. **Lesson 6** - gives students the opportunity to apply their understanding of fractions, decimals and percentages (FDP) to interpret data related to the sustainable development goal of ending poverty (SDG 1). **Knowledge:** - I know that I cannot add or subtract fractions unless the parts (denominators) are the same size. - I know that a mixed number is a whole number and a fraction joined together. - I know that an improper fraction is a way of showing more than one whole. Skills: - I can find the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) to create common denominators for any two fractions. - I can add and subtract mixed numbers by keeping the wholes and parts separate or by converting them. - I can break a whole (regroup) to help me subtract a large fraction from a smaller one. **What’s Included?** Your download includes everything you need for a successful series of lessons: **Unit Overview Notes:** Outlines the knowledge, skills, and pre-requisites for the entire unit, exploring the question 'How do we combine un-equal parts?' **Detailed Lesson Walkthrough/Notes:** Includes a step-by-step guide with guiding questions and key discussion points for each lesson. **Guiding Questions:** Great opportunities for AfL throughout each lesson, designed to help your students draw on their previous learning and make purposeful connections across the unit. **Lesson Slides:** Engaging slides to guide each of your lessons. **Lesson Activities:** Includes accessible, low-floor high ceiling activities for each lesson that all students can access through adaptive teaching, leading to improved confidence. There are also opportunities embedded in each lesson for further challenge to extend learners further. **Exit Ticket:** Purposeful closing tasks which allows students to demonstrate their understanding, skills and knowledge - a great opportunity for AfL.

Fractions, Decimals & Percentages | Whole Unit | Lesson Notes, Slides & Activities
This purposeful unit for **fractions, decimals and percentages** includes 8 lessons, and embeds real life scenarios and the sustainable development goals (SDGs) throughout: **Lesson 1** - explores how to simplify fractions and why, related to highest common factors (HCFs). **Lesson 2** - focuses on how to compare fractions by using multiples to find the common denominator, and why. **Lesson 3** - identifies the purpose and precision of thousandths in decimal and fraction form. **Lesson 4** - illustrates the purpose of percentages and how they relate to fractions and decimals (FDP) using 100 grids. **Lesson 5** - investigates the equivalence of key benchmark fractions, decimals and percentages (FDP) using 100 grids and their purpose in everyday life. **Lesson 6** - focuses on how to convert fractions into percentages, and decimals by converting denominators into 100 first **Lesson 7** - uncovers how to compare fractions, decimals and percentages (FDP) by converting them and mapping them on a number line. **Lesson 8** - gives students the opportunity to apply their understanding of fractions, decimals and percentages (FDP) to interpret data related to the sustainable development goal of ending poverty (SDG 1). **Knowledge:** I know that fractions, decimals, and percentages are just different languages for the same value. I know that percent means "parts per hundred." I know the value of digits up to three decimal places (tenths, hundredths, and thousandths). I know that multiplying or dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number keeps the fraction's value equal. **Skills:** I can simplify a fraction into its smallest form by finding common factors. I can find a common denominator so I can compare two different fractions. I can convert a fraction into a percentage by scaling it to a denominator of 100. I can order a mix of fractions, decimals, and percentages on a number line. **What’s Included?** Your download includes everything you need for a successful series of lessons: **Unit Overview Notes:** Outlines the knowledge, skills, and pre-requisites for the entire unit, exploring the question 'Can the same value look different?' **Detailed Lesson Walkthrough/Notes:** Includes a step-by-step guide with guiding questions and key discussion points for each lesson. **Guiding Questions:** Great opportunities for AfL throughout each lesson, designed to help your students draw on their previous learning and make purposeful connections across the unit. **Lesson Slides:** Engaging slides to guide each of your lessons. **Lesson Activities:** Includes accessible, low-floor high ceiling activities for each lesson that all students can access through adaptive teaching, leading to improved confidence.
