Concept A · For Ava, Year 7
Your lesson with Maya is tomorrow at 10:30 am
Fractions in everyday problems, Wednesday 21 October, 45 minutes, Melbourne time. Two pieces of homework are still open, and both feed into tomorrow.
Before the lesson
About 25 minutes in total. Do the first one first; it is the older one.
-
1. Equivalent fractions: six questions
Not handed in Was due Sunday 11 October, nine days ago.
Show each step, and explain one answer with a diagram. You are on question 3 of 6.
-
2. Adding fractions with unlike denominators: six questions
Not handed in Was due Sunday 18 October, two days ago.
Not started. If you are short on time, finish questions 1 to 3 and tell Maya where you got to.
What Maya wrote after your last lesson
Maya, after Monday 5 October
This lesson explored equivalent fractions. Practice: complete six practice questions, show each step, and explain one answer using a diagram. We will check these strategies together in the next lesson.
Monday 12 October: Maya has not shared a note for this lesson yet. You can ask what to focus on.
Equivalent fractions · question 3 of 6
Is 4/6 the same amount as 6/9? Show how you know.
Saved at 4:02 pm. Nothing goes to Maya until you hand in.
Unlocks when questions 3 to 6 are done, 4 left.
Practice helper, when it is on
It asks questions to help you work it out. It will not hand you the answer.
Practice helper A computer program, not Maya. It can be wrong. Check with Maya.
You: i dont get why 4/6 is 2/3
Helper: Good to ask. Look at 4/6. Is there a number that goes into both 4 and 6 evenly? Have a go, then tell me what you find.
This chat is yours. Maya only sees a question if you choose "Show Maya this question".
When the helper is off
Helper is off today You can still get unstuck. Try these, in this order:
- Go back to question 3 and compare the shaded fraction bars.
- Read the example in Maya's note from 5 October.
- Send Maya a question. Maya will see it before your next lesson on Wednesday.
Your question stays in the box so you do not have to type it again.
Fractions, where you are now
Written from what you and Maya have actually done, with the date and where it came from.
-
Can do on my own Explain a worked example
Shown in the lesson on 5 October, in Maya's notes.
-
Can do with a hint Find an equivalent fraction
Practising. Questions 1 and 2 of your homework are done; 3 is in progress.
-
Not tried yet Add fractions with unlike denominators
Starts with the second piece of homework.
There are no scores or streaks here. Maya decides what appears, and you can ask why something is marked the way it is.
- Does organising by the next lesson, rather than by a list of apps, help a 12-year-old decide what to do first?
- Does a late item feel manageable when the first action is "tell Maya" rather than a red warning?
- Does "I'm stuck" end in a question from a person when the helper is off?
Not built: saving, photo upload, real helper, notifications. The sketch is read-only.
