LO: Fractions greater than 1
Watch: https://vimeo.com/505143644
‘Fractions greater than 1’ can also be called ‘improper fractions’ and ‘top heavy fractions’.
You can have fractions that are more than one whole one. We looked at this before half term.
You are always keeping the denominator (bottom number) the same but the numerator (top number) will be greater.
When you get to questions 3, you need to use your division skills.
By divide the numerator by the denominator, you will find how many whole ones there are.
E.g. 
12 
2 = 6 so the answer is 6 whole ones.
You could draw this out on squared paper too.

If you have a remainder, that will be the fraction that is left.

LO: Count in fractions
Watch: https://vimeo.com/506082065
Make sure you look at the starting number on the number line.
Draw the fraction if it helps you to visualise what it looks like (this helps me!).
When counting in a sequence, look at the pattern the numerators are making and the pattern the denominators are making.
Use your knowledge of times tables to help you see the patterns the numbers make.
Look at the Multplication Square to help you if you are unsure of your times tables.
For question 5, think about what you learnt on equivalent fractions. The Fraction Wall might help with this too.
Wednesday 24.02.21
LO: Recap Add fractions
Watch: https://vimeo.com/507108462
If you feel a bit unsure about this, do the support Task today – complete the ‘support task’ sheet and then have a go at questions 1 and 2 on the main worksheet.
Remember – you are only adding the numerator, the denominator needs to stay the same.
Thursday 25.02.21
LO: Add 2 or more fractions
Watch: https://vimeo.com/507468794
Remember – you are only adding the numerator, the denominator needs to stay the same.
Be careful when changing the improper fraction into a mixed number.
How much more is the numerator than the denominator? E.g
4 + 4 + 6 = 14
How many 11s are in 14?
1 r3
1 and 3 elevenths.
Question 7 needs a lot of thinking time. *Hint - Add your amounts up first and then change the answer into a mixed number, before the final part of the question.
Friday 26.02.21
LO: Recap Subtract fractions
Watch: https://vimeo.com/507527822
In question 3, you might want to use the Fraction Wall to help you (‘simplifying’ is finding the lowest denominator equivalent).
Remember – the denominator should always stay the same.
It is the numerator you need to take away/subtract/minus.
