Count by quarters, halves and thirds, including with mixed numerals; locate and represent these fractions on a number line (ACMNA078)

  • identify and describe 'mixed numerals' as having a whole-number part and a fractional part

Order Fractions on Numberline 0-2

 

compare unit fractions using diagrams and number lines and by referring to the denominator, eg 1/8 is less than ½

recognise and explain the relationship between the value of a unit fraction and its denominator (Communicating, Reasoning)

CONTENT

Students:

Model and represent unit fractions, including  ½, ¼ and 1/3  and 1/5  their multiples, to a complete whole (ACMNA058)

 

  • model fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8 of whole objects, shapes and collections using concrete materials and diagrams, eg

     

 

Matching Fractions

 

 

   * recognise that as the number of parts that a whole is divided into becomes larger, the size of each part becomes smaller (Reasoning)

 Fractions Practice/ Equivalent Fractions

 Fractions Game

  Fractions – Level 3

 Compare Fractions

 

 

   * recognise that fractions are used to describe one or more parts of a whole where the parts are equal, eg

Fractions – Level 3

 

 

  • name fractions up to one whole, eg

Matching Fractions

 

  • interpret the denominator as the number of equal parts a whole has been divided into

Which Fraction is Greater

 

  • interpret the numerator as the number of equal fractional parts, eg  3/8 means 3 equal parts of 8
