In this clip, we explain how you can help pupils understand division as a proportional relationship and how they can apply this understanding to solve related division facts such as 450 ÷ 5.

How to Teach Related Division Facts with Times Tables

Fractions

Pupils are often introduced to fractions in the context of part/ whole relationships. Here, we explain how you can use a number line to explore different representations of fractions and address key misconceptions, for example thinking that fractions are always smaller than 1. 

How to Use a Number Line to Represent Fractions

Mixed Topic

Often pupils equate the equals sign with an action and this can cause issues when they come to balancing equations or solving missing number problems. Here we give ideas on how to ensure pupils understand the equals sign early on.

How to Improve Pupils' Understanding of the Equals Sign

Number and Place Value

This video goes through the step-by-step approach you can use to teach pupils how to find missing numbers on a number line or on a scale.

How to Work Out Unknown Values on a Number Line

Decimals

This video for Year 6 teachers explains when decimal, whole number multiplications can be solved mentally and shows you how to use a written method for those that are more complex. 

How to Multiply a Decimal Number by a Whole Number

This video explains what an 'open question' looks like with three examples which can be easily adapted across different Maths topic areas.

Geometry

This short introduction to 2D shapes explains what a polygon is, how to help pupils classify polygons and provides tips to combat common misconceptions.

Top Tips for 2D Shapes

In Year 6 pupils need to calculate decimal fraction equivalents using division. This video gives a step by step explanation of how you can model this to pupils using the bus stop method.

How to Convert Fractions to Decimals Using Division

It's essential that pupils understand how and why the digits move when they're dividing by 10, 100 or 1000. In this video we just look at dividing whole numbers but the principles apply in the same way to decimals.

How to Divide a Whole Number by 10, 100 or 1,000

Here we give step by step instructions on how to order decimals and address common misconceptions that arise when pupils begin ordering decimal numbers, particularly when the numbers they are comparing have a different number of decimal places. 

How to Read, Write and Order Numbers to Three Decimal Places

Percentages

In this short clip, we look at the relationship between percentages and fractions where the denominator is not 10 or 100 and explain how you can get pupils to apply their understanding of equivalent fractions to make these conversions.

How to Convert Fractions to Percentages (More Complex)

Pupils need to be able to express fractions and percentages and vice versa. This video looks at how you can introduce the concept with simple examples of converting tenths and hundredths into percentages.

Converting Fractions to Percentages With Denominators of 10 or 100

This video explains how you can support pupils to make links between fractions and decimal place value and draw on their knowledge of equivalent fractions to convert fractions to decimals where the denominator is a factor or multiple of 10 or 100. 

How to Convert Between Proper Fractions and Decimals

Watch this video for a concrete and pictorial explanation of tenths and hundredths and how they relate to ones.

Place Value Beyond the Decimal Point

Find out how you can use this versatile chart to help pupils write, say and partition whole and decimal numbers. 

How to Use the Gattegno Chart to Build Understanding of Place Value

This video provides three activities you can use to strengthen pupils understanding of place value and the base ten system. Each can be easily adapted, whether you are focusing on ones, tens and hundreds or decimal place value.
