What if pupils find this a barrier?
Ask pupils, in pairs, to discuss and create their own concept maps for
fractions. You may wish to provide key words, such as:
equivalence, fractions as operators, cancelling
Discuss the important components of the concept map as a whole class (or
with a targeted group). Help them to identify areas of weakness. Either
support pupils in their own research to address weaknesses or refer back
to appropriate steps to explore strategies to overcome them.
