A lesson for Year 6 pupils to familiarise themselves with the key features of calculators and encourage appropriate and effective use whilst also exploring and reasoning about key aspects of mathematics.
The activities can be used individually or as a whole lesson. A PowerPoint to support the activities is also available.
This lesson seeks to use calculators to support pupils in seeing the link between division and fractions and to secure knowledge of fraction and decimal equivalence. These activities are followed up in the Year 7 lesson ‘Divide and conquer!’.
