ESSENTIALmaths Year 5 maths plan: Fractions - problem solving

In this sequence of learning for Year 5, complete with a range of supporting resources, pupils will gain significant knowledge and skills related to fractions – comparing, ordering, finding equivalents, recognising and converting mixed and improper fractions, adding, subtracting and multiplying them.

This sequence provides a brief opportunity to consolidate and apply this knowledge in the context of problem solving in which pupils will be asked to draw on a range of knowledge and skills.

HFL maths advisers have mapped and connected the curriculum in each year group term by term. Each half-term is developed with an easy to pick up and use set of sequences with step by step guidance. Examples of how concrete and pictorial representations can benefit pupils’ learning as well as other mastery techniques are included. Ideas to deepen and extend mathematical thinking for all learners, examples of great questions and resources to support pupils’ talk and reasoning are embedded.

The full suite of Year 1 to Year 6 ESSENTIALmaths planning materials are available to purchase from https://www.hertsforlearning.co.uk/resources/essentialmaths for both single and mixed-age classes.
