Mathematics Collaboration Project for Teachers: Understanding Fractions and Geometry

Join the NCETM small grant project led by Susan Wall to improve math teaching at KS2/3 schools. Explore geometric shapes, angles, symmetry, and fractions. Enhance your understanding of fractions with expert guidance and share best teaching practices with colleagues. Gain insights on students' perspectives and misconceptions regarding fractions. Collaborate with educators from Spring Cottage Primary School, Andrew Marvell Business and Enterprise College, and Wilberforce Sixth Form College to enhance math education. Discover effective strategies to teach fractions and geometry concepts. This project aims to boost math proficiency and pedagogy in the classroom.

  4. What is the same and what is different?

  5. This polygon is regular. This polygon has exactly one obtuse angle. The diagonals of this polygon are perpendicular. This polygon has exactly 2 lines of symmetry. This polygon has at least one pair of parallel sides. This is a trapezium.

  6. These lines are perpendicular.

  7. This shape has a diagonal. This shape does not have a diagonal.

  8. This is an angle. This is not a proper angle.

  9. This is a regular. This is not regular.

  10. For 1/5 they colour 5 in. They think that 1/2 and 2/1 are the same. Saying double top and bottom for equivalent fractions is confusing because they associate doubling as getting bigger.

  11. What is a fraction? What do students understand by a fraction? What are the essentials in order to understand fractions?

  12. 8 out of 27 year 4/5 children thought the shaded area was one half of the shape.

  13. 15 out of 27 year 4/5 children thought the shaded area was one quarter of the shape.

  14. 7 out of 27 year 4/5 children thought this was true. 3 out of 12 year 12 students thought this was true.

  15. is bigger than 13 out of 27 year 4/5 children thought this was true. 4 out of 12 year 12 students thought this was true.

  16. are all fractions. Do you know any more? If so then write them down : 13 out of 27 year 4/5 children answered NO. 4 out of 12 year 12 students answered NO.

  17. ‘Growth last quarter was 3.1%. It was actually a four month quarter.’ Justin King Chief Executive of Sainsbury’s Radio 4 10th October 2007
