Fractions on a Number Line Lesson
This Year 3 Fractions on a Number Line lesson covers the prior learning of making equal parts, before moving onto the main skill of using a number line to count forwards and backwards in fractions.
The lesson starts with a prior learning worksheet to check pupils’ understanding. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill. Children can then practise further by completing the activities and can extend their learning by completing an engaging extension task.
