Year 5 - Mathematics

Date: 27th Jan 2026 @ 11:35am

Today, Year 5 revisited the concept of a unit fraction and what it represents as an equal part of a whole. We recapped that multiplication can be understood as repeated addition. Building on this, the children explored how to multiply an integer by a unit fraction. They first modelled this using repeated addition to support their understanding, before moving on to a more efficient method. Throughout the lesson, we discussed the steps involved and focused on explaining why the method works, helping to deepen conceptual understanding.
