Tenths Lesson

This Year 3 Tenths lesson covers the prior learning of making equal parts and unit and non-unit fractions, before moving onto the main skill of identifying tenths in different representations.

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.
