Welcome to the new half term!
Cast your minds back a week or so, and hopefully you will remember that our maths teaching and learning was focused on ordering fractions less than one. Now we're going to move on to order fractions that are greater than one - these might be presented as improper fractions or mixed numbers, so keep your eyes peeled!
Take a look at the video and then have a go at the tasks attached in the PDF below.

After the rollercoaster that was comparing and ordering fractions, we're going to move on to the waltzer of adding and subtracting fractions - starting gently with fractions with the same denominator.

Good to see you using both Bar Models and knowledge of factors and multiples to find common denominators - great work!

Just keep adding, adding, adding...
Today we are going to learn to add fractions where the result will be greater than a whole one, resulting in an improper fraction and a mixed number - control your excitement!
Take a look at the video, which shows you what to do using a couple of examples, and then have a go at the tasks. Take it step by step, making sure you are checking what you are doing - remember you need to have the same denominator before you can add the numerators. You should end up with an improper fraction (numerator greater than denominator), which you can turn into a mixed number (whole number and fraction).
