Gifted and Talented Teacher creates high-quality teaching resources and printable teacher resources designed to support calm, organised, and engaging learning environments. From curriculum-aligned teaching tools to functional classroom decor, our resources are classroom-ready and designed to save teachers time.

Teach students to find a fraction of a quantity with this complete teaching bundle. Students divide by the denominator to find a unit fraction, multiply by the numerator to find other fractions, work with fractions greater than one and solve real-world problems with money, length, mass and time.

Combining a lesson plan, a 46-slide editable teacher presentation, three differentiated student activities, an exit ticket with interpretation guide and a hands-on mystery picture, this curriculum-aligned bundle provides everything you need to teach the lesson from start to finish.

Built around the I Do, We Do, You Do model, students move from explicit teacher modelling to guided practice and independent application. They model fractions of collections and bar models, write expressions such as one third × 12, decide whether statements are true or false, work out how much is left and explain their strategy using mathematical language.

What's included in this teaching bundle?

Teacher Slides (PowerPoint)

  • 46 editable, ready-to-teach slides following the I Do, We Do, You Do structure
  • Clear learning intention and success criteria

Hands-On Activity: Fraction Mystery Picture (PDF)

  • Two mystery pictures: students find fractions of quantities to make each coordinate, then plot and join 16 points to reveal a sailing boat and a hot-air balloon
  • A prediction line and a glitch check on each grid page, so students find and fix the calculation behind a misplaced point
  • A Mystery Picture Maker page: students design their own picture, build fraction clues backwards and swap with a partner
  • What you need: pencils, rulers and coloured pencils (counters for support)
  • Teacher page with set-up, a model round, engagement notes, differentiation and misconceptions
  • Answer page with every coordinate and the finished pictures

Ideal for upper primary classrooms, this bundle provides a structured approach to finding fractions of quantities, combining explicit instruction, visual representations, differentiated independent practice and an engaging self-checking mystery picture and picture maker.
