LO: I can find

fractions of
amounts.

STS
Circle the big
amount.
Divide it by the
bottom number
(denominator)
using a number
line.
Write the number
of jumps as
your answer.

Vocabulary:
Fractions, numerator,
denominator, halves,
quarters, fifths, divide,
multiply.
Resources:

Differentiated
worksheets.
W/boards, pens.
Number lines
Multiplication
squares.

Intro:
Recap on what the children know about fractions (reading, numerator and denominator).
Take feedback on how chn found their answers. (Encourage use of maths vocab)
Reinforce division being a key step (using a number line and resources to support)
Model method with: 1/4 of 16 =
Step 1: Circle the amount
Step 2: Divide the amount by the denominator (bottom number) using a number line.
Step 3: Write the number of jumps as the answer.
Tops:
Model how to use double the answer to work out the amount when the nominator is 2.
E,g, 2/4 of 16 = 16 4 = 4
2x4=8
