Things you miss about UKS2 teaching Multiplying fractions by integers can be a tricky concept to understand but this really helped children understand the structure to these types of questions. I am firm believer that resources are for all children 🧮

@OUPPrimary @MenTeachPrimary @MrTs_NQTs @PrimaryIdeas Played about with numicon in UKS2 to explore distributive law and the dreaded 7x table. Here's how 8x7 = (8x2) + (8x5)

@OUPPrimary @MenTeachPrimary @MrTs_NQTs @PrimaryIdeas I think we move too quickly from manipulatives to abstract (or perhaps we just drop manipulatives too early). Many students begin high school with such poor number sense we are constantly building on shaky foundations (whilst also trying to rebuild those foundations of course)

@OUPPrimary @MenTeachPrimary @MrTs_NQTs @PrimaryIdeas Great video. In my experience, understanding this / or not links closely to a foundational understanding of multiplication as repeated addition. i.e. this is 3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 which they'll happily see is 9/4

@OUPPrimary @MenTeachPrimary @MrTs_NQTs @PrimaryIdeas Thanks for this! I've been struggling to model it another way. We don't use Numicon enough! Just need to find those pegs you use... Never seen them before.

@OUPPrimary @MenTeachPrimary @MrTs_NQTs @PrimaryIdeas This was a lovely lightbulb moment for my y6. Division we found drawing and slicing easier

@OUPPrimary @MenTeachPrimary @MrTs_NQTs @PrimaryIdeas Retired Head of SEN. Numeracy strategies such as this are for EVERYONE who struggles with certain calculations!

Absolutely brilliant! I was in year 6 last year & moved to year 1 in September and have learnt the true power of manipulatives. Will be sharing this video with my year 6 colleagues.

@OUPPrimary @MenTeachPrimary @MrTs_NQTs @PrimaryIdeas @lukeoverthere07 great idea

@OUPPrimary @MenTeachPrimary @MrTs_NQTs @PrimaryIdeas @helen1306 these peg inserts are a great idea xx

@OUPPrimary @MenTeachPrimary @MrTs_NQTs @PrimaryIdeas @HeatherTall123 wow!
