Lesson Name: Date: Week 1, Term 3	Curriculum Level: 3 (Year 6) Area: Fractions

Teaching Focus: Connect - making sure that the connect at the end of the lesson is building on prior knowledge and gives students the opportunity to understand the concept.	Big Idea:
Problem: “The octopus was caught in fast current and held on with ⅜ of its legs. The octopus caught 48 fish with its suckers on its tentacles. 5/8 of the fish escaped. How many fish were left?
Conjectures/ Possible Strategies/ Solutions
Strategies: 48 / 8 = 6, x 5 = 30, 48 - 30 = 18� 48 / 8 = 6, 3 x 6 = 18	Misconceptions:
Additional strategies/misconceptions (that emerged during the lesson)
Generalising (How will connect the strategies to the big idea) Further examples to extend children's thinking.�
Formative assessment:�Pre/Post assessment to see how much has been learnt from the students. Have they understood the concept?

The octopus was caught in a fast current and held on with ⅜ of its legs.

How many of its legs did it hold on with?

Week 1- Problem One

The octopus caught 48 fish with its suckers on its tentacles. 5/8 of the fish escaped.

How many fish were left?

Week 1- Problem Two

6 of 8

There are 98 limpets in the rock pools down at the beach. The tide is starting to go out very quickly so the limpets need to find a place to survive. They need to split up into 7 groups.

How many limpts can fit equally onto each safe space?

Week 3/4

7 of 8

There is a school of 98 fish swimming around in the ocean. Out of nowhere comes a shark who is looking for dinner. The fish decide to split up into equal groups of 7.

How many fish need to go in each group?

Lesson Name: Date: Week 5, Term 3	Curriculum Level: 3 (Year 6) Area: Division

Teaching Focus: Connect - making sure that the connect at the end of the lesson is building on prior knowledge and gives students the opportunity to understand the concept.	Big Idea: # 1 A fraction describes the division of a whole (region, set, segment) into equal parts.
Problem: There is a school of 98 fish swimming around in the ocean. Out of nowhere comes a shark who is looking for dinner. The fish decide to split up into equal groups of 7. How many fish need to go in each group?
Conjectures/ Possible Strategies/ Solutions
Strategies: Work out they 98 needs to go into groups of 7 equally so 98 divided by 7 = ? (14)�7 x 12 = 84 - 98 = 14 left 14 / 7 = 2 12 + 2 = 14 7 X 10 = 70, 98 - 70 = 28 7 x 4 = 28 10 + 4 = 14 so 14 groups. Draw 7 fish in each group and then count the number of fish in each group until you get to 98.	Misconceptions: Adding the numbers together. Using multiplication to solve this problem by 98 x 7 Subtracting 7 from 98 Having no idea whatsoever how to solve this problem.
Additional strategies/misconceptions (that emerged during the lesson)
Generalising (How will connect the strategies to the big idea) Further examples to extend children's thinking.�So if we made this 112 fish and had groups of 7 how could we work this out? If were splitting them into groups of 14 with the same number how many groups would we have? Can we do this with other timestables say groups of 5 or 6 with a number that divides into this?
