Year 5 Maths Spring Week 1
For the next three weeks, we will be focusing on fractions. As always each day you will have a warm-up, main lesson, some work to complete and a game to play. Sometimes your work will focus on fractions but often I will be asking you to cover other aspects of maths to make sure you are getting lots of practice. Here we go!
Day 1
Focus - divide whole numbers by a fraction
Warm-up by playing this rounding game. Enter your name, select mixed 10, 100 and 1,000. Then jigsaw mode and individual. When you finish the game click on get your results. You will know if you have mastered rounding if you get 80% or above. Do not worry if you get a lower score you have plenty of time to practice and improve over the next few years, you will get there!
Watch this 'Dividing whole numbers by fractions using models' by Mr J.
