This Nrich problem provides an opportunity to find equivalent fractions and carry out some simple additions and subtractions of fractions in a context that may challenge and motivate students.

This Nrich activity gives the pupils opportunities to use and develop their visualizing skills in conjunction with the knowledge of fractions. It's quite a contrast to just dealing with fractions numerically.

This simple Nrich game is designed to help children become more familiar with common coins in the UK, and to find fractional quantities of amounts of money. The fractions involved are slightly more challenging than those found in Fraction Card Game. Higher-order thinking is required in order to play strategically.

This Nrich game offers students an opportunity to practice calculating fractions and percentages of amounts.

This Nrich problem gives practice in calculating with fractions in a challenging setting. It also requires the use of factors and multiples. While doing the problem learners will need to express a smaller whole number as a fraction of a larger one and find equivalent fractions. This activity will require some estimating and trial and improvement, combined with working systematically.

This Nrich problem gives practice in calculating with fractions and encourages different ways of representing and recording.

This Nrich problem is an accessible context in which pupils can apply their knowledge of number properties. It provides a great opportunity for learners to reason logically and to communicate their reasoning with others.

This Nrich problem follows on from Keep It Simple and Egyptian Fractions
These three problems together offer students an opportunity to engage with some mathematical ideas in depth and not just with the rather mechanical process of adding and subtracting fractions.

This problem in particular requires students to compare fractions and may deepen their understanding of their relative sizes.

This Nrich problem requires children to apply their knowledge of factors and multiples, and is a good way of making the link between sharing, division and multiples/factors. It may also be used to introduce learners to the fact that a problem can have more than one solution and that the solutions can be generalized. It can be approached in many different ways so can be a useful context in which to talk about different ways of recording and different methods of solving problems.

This Nrich task is a group activity or game. Students work to discover a rule by working together to evaluate patterns.

This Nrich problem provides a fraction-based challenge for students who already possess a good understanding of fraction addition and subtraction, and it leads to algebraic manipulation of that same process.

This Nrich task gives opportunities for pupils to explore, to discover, to analyze and communicate. It's a real catalyst for pupils' curiosity. It allows pupils to approach it in whatever way they find most helpful. It also provides opportunities for using and extending visualizing skills. The activity also opens out the possibility of pupils asking “I wonder what would happen if . . .?” showing their resilience and perseverance.

This Nrich low threshold high ceiling task is accessible to everyone. It gives children the chance to share the way they picture (visualize) numbers and their methods of counting. One of the key features of this task is that it can be interpreted differently, depending on the image, so that children can decide for themselves whether they are counting individual fruit, cartons of fruit... Therefore there may also be an opportunity for children to develop their estimation skills as well as appreciating different ways of counting.

This Nrich task is an unusual way to explore number patterns in a well-known context. The activity will reinforce the construction of the hundred square, and increase children's familiarity with the sequences contained within it. Using a common resource, such as a hundred square, is a good way for children to begin to use visualisation, which they may find quite difficult at first. The act of visualising in this problem tests children's understanding of how the number square is created.

In this Nrich activity students are asked to evaluate data representations based on the book "If the World Were a Village."

The purpose and intended use of the Algebra 1 Supports Course.
Students who struggle in Algebra 1 are more likely to struggle in subsequent math courses and experience more adverse outcomes. The Algebra 1 Extra Support Materials are designed to help students who need additional support in their Algebra 1 course. Each Algebra 1 Extra Support Materials lesson is associated with a lesson in the Algebra 1 course. The intention is that students experience each Algebra 1 Extra Support Materials lesson before its associated Algebra 1 lesson. The Algebra 1 Extra Support Materials lesson helps students learn or remember a skill or concept that is needed to access and find success with the associated Algebra 1 lesson.

In the Common Core era, students are challenged to read complex texts to build content knowl-edge, literacy skills, and academic vocabulary. Each EL Education ELA module for Grades 3–5 includes one or more “central” texts—complex texts that students work with in class and for homework, with support from the teacher and peers. It is important that all students have ac-cess to, and support with, reading text at the appropriate level of complexity for their grade level.

This Nrich problem challenges children to calculate with fractions and provides a good context in which to encourage learners to be curious about different methods of approach.
