In this lesson, children build on their 'fractions of a quantity' learning and use bar models to work out a quantity from a given fraction of an amount. There is a teaching presentation accompanied by differentiated activities with a range of fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions.

National Curriculum Objectives:
Mathematics Year 4:
