@carohami @WhiteRoseMaths I think it sums up 2020!

@MrLuckhurstY5 @TTSSchoolDirect @WhiteRoseMaths However, I also like B for the idea of exchanging one whole for five fifths.
Makes a nice link to the way we exchange when we are subtracting using column method.

Loved delivering a full day of fractions to @TTSSchoolDirect primary trainees today. Lots of brilliant discussions including looking at multiple methods to subtract mixed numbers. Which method would you use, or have you got a different one? @WhiteRoseMaths

[Beth Smith @Beth_89]

@MrLuckhurstY5 @TTSSchoolDirect @WhiteRoseMaths I think A is interesting because until you convert to improper fractions I don’t think it’s obvious that one mixed number is double of the other!
C definitely requires a number line to explain the constant difference ☺️

@henitus Oh my god, amazing! This is definitely a post lockdown celebration meal. We’ll love it and it will outrage others!

@MathsteryByMrJ @MrMattock I love the use of language. It’s amazing what a conversation on twitter can lead to! Thanks for this ☺️

[Beth Smith @Beth_89]

@henitus Perfect Saturday morning read. I was getting concerned with the lack of update over the past 2 days. I watched the entire of Emily in Paris over two days and completely loved it.

[Beth Smith @Beth_89]

@MrMattock @MathsteryByMrJ Which then clearly does show how sharing can link to this so effectively. Amazing! Love unpicking ideas. Always learning!

[Beth Smith @Beth_89]

@CjHatchman @WhiteRoseMaths So glad you enjoyed it!

[Beth Smith @Beth_89]

@MrMattock @MathsteryByMrJ Really interesting! Massive shift in language but makes complete sense. I discuss the fact we are always making groups of 3 but depending on the column depends on the value. Did this due to link to ‘How many 3s in.....’ which is common language used.
