Which is the smallest? Why? Q: Pick two fractions and say which one is larger Q: Tell me another fraction that is equivalent to. And another, and another. Explain how you know they are equal to? And now do the same with. Q: How would you add and without a calculator? Q: The answers to + is a little bit more than 1. Is there any way you could have predicted this without working this out exactly? Main Activity: Q: I want you to add together as many of the six fractions as like to get an answer as near to 1 as possible. You can only use each fraction once (you can t get exactly 1!) Extension & Homework UKMT questions

Why are equivalent fractions important when adding or subtracting fractions? What strategies do you use to find a common denominator when adding or subtracting fractions? Is there only one possible common denominator? What happens if you use a different common denominator? Give pupils some examples of addition and subtraction of fractions with common mistakes in them. Ask them to talk you through the mistakes and how they would correct them. How would you justify that 4 1 5 = 20? How would you use this to work out 4 2 5? Do you expect the answer to be greater or less than 20? Why? 15 th Jul 1.3 Area & Perimeter Rectangles, triangles, parallelograms & trapeziuums Area & problem solving Charlie has been drawing rectangles: The first rectangle has a perimeter of 30 units and an area of 50 square units. The second rectangle has a perimeter of 24 units and an area of 20 square units. Charlie wondered if he could find a rectangle whose perimeter and area have the same numerical value. Can you find a rectangle that satisfies this condition? Alison says "There must be lots of rectangles whose perimeter and area have the same numerical value." Charlie is not so sure. Can you find more examples of such rectangles? Can you come up with a convincing argument to help Charlie and Alison decide who is right? Why do you have to multiply the base by the perpendicular height to find the area of a parallelogram? The area of a triangle is 12cm2. What are the possible lengths of base and height? Right-angled triangles have half the area of the rectangle with the same base and height. What about non-rightangled triangles? What other formulae for the area of 2-D shapes do you know? Is there a formula for the area of every 2-D shape? How do you go about finding the volume of a cuboid? How do you go about finding the surface area of a cuboid?

This is a working document and personal notes (Inc. dates/tarsia/tests you give) should be made on it made as required to be shared with the rest of the team during meetings. APP assessment criteria embedded into the SOW Examples of what pupils should know and be able to do are provided so teachers have a feel for how difficult the mathematics is intended to be. These are not activities or examples that will enable an accurate assessment of work at this level. To do this, you need a broad range of evidence drawn from day-to-day teaching over a period of time; this is exemplified in the Standards files. Furthermore, some probing questions are also provided for the teacher to use with pupils in lessons to initiate dialogue to help secure their assessment judgement
