Seeking help from any #year6 teachers. Why are these questions similar, but one accepts the answer as a fraction while the other requires it as an integer. I am struggling to explain this to the children who are confidently working out 120/3. Is it because 120 is divisible by 3?
Devastated by the loss of my first ever teaching partner, Steve Bayliss. Always loved a dress-up - hated driving me around Portsmouth. Such a role-model in the world of education.
There are moments that remind me why I became a teacher. Was it getting a child to use a semi-colon in their writing today? No. Was it re-creating the Monty the Penguin advert with a toy tortoise? Absolutely.
