Making the Whole Lesson
This Year 3 Making the Whole lesson covers the prior learning of making equal parts, non-unit fractions and bonds to 100 (ten), before moving onto the main skill of making the whole.
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.
