Diving into Mastery Guidance for Educators

Each activity sheet is split into three sections, diving, deeper and deepest, which are
represented by the following icons:
These carefully designed activities take your
children through a learning journey, initially
ensuring they are fluent with the key concept being
Diving taught; then applying this to a range of reasoning
and problem-solving activities. 

These sheets might not necessarily be used in a

linear way. Some children might begin at the
Deeper
‘Deeper’ section and in fact, others may ‘dive
straight in’ to the ‘Deepest’ section if they have
already mastered the skill and are applying this to
show their depth of understanding.

• Recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions
and non-unit fractions with small denominators.
