Reports are informative pieces of writing that give information to the reader about a certain topic. For example: space, the bald eagle, Scotland, flags of the world or anything else you’re interested in.

 

Report rules

  • All the information must be about the same topic.

  • You should provide the audience with lots of facts and evidence rather than personal opinions.

  • Reports must be set out clearly with a title, introduction, paragraphs, subheadings and images. (Subheadings are little titles for each paragraph, or group of paragraphs, to explain what they are about.)

  • They should be written in a formal tone (like how you would speak to your head teacher).

  • They should be written in the present tense (as if the actions are happening now).

You can compare fractions in many different ways.

You could compare fractions by the numerator or by the denominator, or compare them to common fractions you know such as ½.

Bar models are a very useful visual representation to help you to generalise.
