Using
the Again and Again investigation
could assist in the teaching of the following
Links to
the National Numeracy Strategy:
Years 5 and
6 example, Pages 30-31: Recognise the equivalence between decimals
and fractions.
Years 5 and
6: Example: enter fractions into a calculator and interpret
the display to find the equivalent decimal. Predict the result before
confirming.

Key Stage
2 :
Number
Pupils should
be taught to:
- make connections
in mathematics and appreciate the need to use numerical skills
and knowledge when solving problems in other parts of the mathematics
curriculum.
- develop
logical thinking.
- break down
a more complex problem or calculation into simpler steps before
attempting a solution; identify the information needed to carry
out the tasks.
- understand
and investigate general statements.
- recognise
the equivalence between the decimal and fraction forms of one
half, quarters, tenths and hundredths.
Key Stage
3 :
Number
Pupils should
be taught to:
- break down
a more complex problem or calculation into simpler steps before
attempting to solve it.
- make connections
in mathematics and appreciate the need to use numerical skills
and knowledge when solving problems in other parts of the mathematics
curriculum.
- show step-by-step
deduction in solving a problem; explain and justify how they
arrived at a conclusion.
- use decimal
notation and recognise that terminating decimal is a fraction.
Level 6
Pupils understand and use the equivalence between fractions and
decimals.
Algebra
Pupils should
be taught to:
- Express
simple functions, at first in words and then in symbols.
Level 5
They construct, express in symbolic form, and use simple formulae
involving one or two operations.
Level 6
They represent mappings expressed algebraically.
