Compare and Order by Denominators Lesson
This Year 6 Compare and Order by Denominators lesson covers the prior learning of comparing and ordering fractions less than one, before moving onto the main skill of comparing and ordering fractions by their denominator.
The lesson starts with a prior learning worksheet to check pupils’ understanding. If they need more practice, you can choose other resources for that step. 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.
