Maths Pre-learning activity (trial)

This week we have been working hard to support the class to understand how to use improper fractions and mixed numbers.

Therefore, we have sent a Key learning Maths sheet to help prepare the children understand how to convert mixed numbers to improper fractions in further detail. This lesson will be taught on Thursday 16th March. We have encouraged the children to read through the questions if they are unable to answer them due to after school commitments . However; children can answer one or two questions if they would like too/have time. These questions can also be completed as their morning activity, please remind them to bring back the activity sheet.
