7 Summary of Week 3

This week you furthered your study of fractions and the aim was to put in place the foundations that you will need to be able to carry out calculations using fractions. Week 4 will remind you of these ideas, so you’ll be getting more and more practice to help to you remember these new found skills. You will have also come across quite a bit of new language relating to fractions this week.
