For the next few weeks, our learning will have a different focus each week.

There will be no new mathematical concepts taught, instead you will be consolidating and broadening your

understanding and applying your knowledge to different mathematical situations. There will be a variety of

fluency, problem solving and reasoning tasks. All content will be based upon the curriculum that we have

covered so far in Year 4.

We will aim for there to be different levels of challenge throughout the tasks – you should attempt to do as

much as you can.

Year 4 Maths

Year 4 MathsWeek 14

Week beginning Monday 29th June 2020

We are learning to apply and consolidate knowledge of fractions

• recognise and show, using diagrams, families of common equivalent fractions

• solve problems involving increasingly harder fractions to calculate quantities, and fractions to divide quantities, including non-unit fractions where the answer

is a whole number

• add and subtract fractions with the same denominator

• compare fractions with different denominators

There are also 2Dos to complete on Purple Mash this week which match these objectives. These will go live on Monday and close on Friday.

You can mark your own work.

The video will also include some self directed tasks for you to complete.

If you are unable to access the video, see the following slides for a visual representation of

today’s learning and a copy of today’s task.

• Reduce fractions to their simplest form

• Find an equivalent fraction which uses the

smallest numbers possible.

• You do this by dividing and finding the highest

common factors

• The highest common factor is 8 so divide both

the numerator and denominator by 8

Day 5

Friday 3rd July 2020Friday fun fraction trail

Watch today’s video (click here to access the FOJS YouTube channel) for answers to

yesterday’s task followed by today’s Fluent in Five.

Today’s lesson is dependent on being able to watch today’s video. It involves some

clips of video recorded in school followed by some fractions questions to answer after

watching (e.g. what fraction of the colouring pencils were red?). If you cannot

access the video, perhaps you could create a fraction trail of your own at home!

Fun fraction trail:

Watch the fraction trail video carefully and answer the following questions. Remember to simplify the fractions where

possible. Good luck!

1) What fraction of the Year 3 lockers by the green door do not have a superhero nametag?

2) What fraction of the office letter trays are grey?

3) What fraction of the office ladies are wearing glasses?

4) What fraction of the lighthouse is red?

5) What fraction of the Year 5 concept question by the upper school playground uses vowels?

6) What fraction of chairs in Valentina class are green?

7) What fraction of the hoops outside the PE cupboard are blue?

8) What fraction of the shelf boxes in the corridor of curiosity are in line with the radiator?

9) What fraction of the folders on top of Mrs Coopers’ cupboard are blue?

10) What fraction of the windows by Handel class cloakroom are closed?

11) Can you create an addition calculation using the fractions of coloured pots in the Year 6 cloakroom?

Optional extra:

Using the photo of the table at the end of the trail, can you create your own fractions questions about the different

objects? Once you have created some, upload them onto your class’s blog for others to solve.

For example: What fraction of the scissors are left handed scissors?
