Maths activities
I have shared two online maths lessons for this week. These lessons focus on fractions, and should be watched before attempting the activities to remind the children about the main concepts of this aspect of maths. The PowerPoint I have used for the first lesson is also included below without the video.
Where applicable all children should attempt 'Mastery' questions where applicable, and more confident mathematicians can challenge themselves with the 'Mastery with Greater Depth'.
