Lesson	Details & links	Assessed work / further work / QMA	My Learning	My Thinking	My Research	My Feelings	My Peers
1	Main: addition and subtraction of fractions and mixed numbers     ¾ + ½,       ¾ - ½,       3¼ + 1½,    2¼ - 1½ Addition and Subtraction of fractions Powerpoint Addition and Subtraction of fractions Easiteach Mymaths: Number: Fractions: Adding Subtracting
2	Starter: multiplying a fraction by an integer e.g. ½ x 60, 1/5 x 20 Main: multiply a fraction by a fraction including mixed numbers cancelling at the end     ¾  x  ½,       ¾ x ½,       3¼ x 1½ Mymaths; Number: Fractions: Improper and Mixed: 4-5 Plenary: understand the term ‘reciprocal’ and that the product of a number and it’s reciprocal is 1 and zero has no reciprocal because 1 divided by zero is undefined
3	Starter: dividing an integer by a fraction e.g. 20 ÷ ¼ Main: division of fractions cancelling at the end (understand the term ‘reciprocal’ as a multiplicative inverse)     ¾ ÷ ½,       ¾ ÷ ½,       3¼ ÷ 1½        Extension: multiply and divide fractions and mixed by cancelling common factors before you multiply
4	Starter: converting fractions to decimals e.g. write 7/20 as a decimal using equivalent fractions or use short division to write 3/7 as a decimal Main: Order fractions by writing them with a common denominator and/or converting fractions to decimals Equivalent fractions diagrams powerpoint Investigation: pupils find out which fractions are terminating and understand the difference between terminating and recurring decimals.
5	Main: convert simple recurring decimals to fractions Recuuring Decimals Easiteach Recurring Decimals 2 Candidates should recognise that recurring decimals are exact fractions and that some exact fractions are recurring decimals
6	Main: harder questions involving converting– insist on the proper method with no short cuts including proofs.
