Maths Stories
This programme from Teachers TV contains seven clips which may be used to demonstrate a technique for teaching number operations and fractions using paper cups. Teachers should view the programmes Just a Fraction and Understanding Fractions to see the technique being used with a class.
The clips relate to the following:
* An introduction to the resources and maths tables
* Addition, subtraction and equals including halves and quarters
* Maths story/real story: the link between the maths story - a calculation on paper - and the real story - shown by manipulating paper cups - is shown.
In the second part, students should write out the maths story as they see the real story acted out
* Multiplication: the idea of using an action to differentiate between addition and multiplication is introduced
* More fractions: the link between the concrete representation of cups and the symbolic representation with cards is established
* Moving multiplication on: cards are used to act a real story
* Imagining cups: manipulating fractions in your head
