🚨Cuisenaire ➡️ bar models for teaching fraction of amounts🚨

My 👀 were opened today by @Miss_Smith_OJS 👏🏼

Chn were able to see importance of the deom & equal groups, the links with division & all applied thinking to missing number calcs by using the inverse

1/6 of ___= 5

🙌🏻 Numicon to the rescue AGAIN! 🙌🏻

3 - ___ = 1 3/4

Solving these type of tricky missing fraction calculations are definitely made easier by using the pegs and tiles.

R is our school's top English student. She got 9 at GCSE. She got A at AS. She is studious, precise, deeply thoughtful. She has just had her A Level grade reduced from A* to C, apparently just because she goes to a disadvantaged school. It might help if you liked her poem.

#PrimaryRocks Men Teach Primary  #EduMTP 🏃🏽‍♂️📈🎙 'They'll behave for you because you're a man' is the worst - simultanteously being highly sexist and also dismissive of my practice. They will behave for me, but it's not because I'm a man. #PrimaryRocks

I've used rows, islands, horseshoes, no desks, chairs with lean on attached desks, lecture halls, comfy reading areas, outside under a tree and after 27 years of teaching I found that the layout always depended on what I wanted the students to learn.

Had an absolute scream playing a SPAG version of ‘heads up’ today. Chn hold card against their heads and peers have to explain what it is without using the word(s) on the card. Great for recall, solidifying explanations and ironing out misconceptions.
