I really really want to get a job in a lovely school close to my home. I will be teaching fractions to a year 1 class who already know halves and quarters and are begining to understand fractions of amounts. This school does not do continuous provision. So I will start with a fraction storybook, wholey-cow. Then I will teach the terms numerator and demoniator and explain how to find a fraction of an amount you divide by the deominator multiply by the numerator (in simple terms). I will demonstrate this using a simple equivilient fractions wall with blocks showing 1/2 and 2/2, 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 etc. The blocks will have double sided sticky tape on, I will count out the starting amount using dried kidney beans, physically share in across the blocks on the equivilent fraction so they can clearly see the 1/2 of 4 is 2 etc. They will then go to there differentiated fraction wall, using the share technique with kidney beans and double sided tape on laminated equivilent fraction walls, work out 1/2 and 1/4 of amounts. Higher achievers will work out 2/4 and 3/4s too. Plenary- checking answers, thumbs up thumbs down self assessment and a whole class extension question, half a measurement.
This is a job I so really want for many good professional and family reasons.
Thank you very much for any busy people who give me feedback
