In this lesson, we use fruit to explore common/decimal fractions relating to tenths. Students will use coloured Unifix cubes to represent tenths of a fraction on a ‘fruit kebab’. They will discover the idea of equivalent fractions and make connections using a fraction wall. The lesson uses interactive activities, discussions ...

The focus of this activity is to encourage students to measure, order, compare and check the mass of a range of objects using hefting (holding something to test its mass) or formal units of measure.

• TLF-IDA004275

The focus of this activity is to encourage and support students to describe two dimensional shapes and three dimensional objects according to their features or properties.

• TLF-IDA004278

This resource introduces a number of activities focused around number patterns. Helping children to explore, continue and describe number patterns can lead to an early understanding of algebraic concepts.

• TLF-IDA004281

This is an open task as it can cater for the needs of many students and can be used over and over to build confidence in representing numbers in different ways. In this activity students have an opportunity to engage with a variety of number ranges and are able to demonstrate their understandings of those numbers in many ways.

This game gives students opportunities to practice subtraction skills and to learn subtraction strategies, including the jump strategy, the split (or partition) strategy, compensation and the count-up to strategy (sometimes called the Shopkeeper’s method).

• TLF-IDA004297

This activity is designed to encourage students to develop and explain different strategies to solve subtraction problems.

• TLF-IDA004304

Space Race is a simple board game that teachers can use to introduce the concept of algorithmic sequencing to students. The teaching points provided with the game assist teachers to introduce the use of an algorithm (a simple set of mathematical instructions) to describe the trajectory of an object across a grid plane from ...
