  • express mixed numerals as improper fractions and vice versa, through the use of diagrams and number lines, leading to a mental strategy, eg

 

 

 

 

  • model and represent strategies, including using diagrams, to add proper fractions with the same denominator, where the result may be a mixed numeral, eg

 

 

 

 

  • model and represent a whole number added to a proper fraction, eg 2 + ¾ = 2 ¾

 

  • subtract a proper fraction from another proper fraction with the same denominator, eg

 

 

 

  • model and represent strategies, including using diagrams, to add mixed numerals with the same denominator, eg

 

 

 

 

  • use diagrams, and mental and written strategies, to subtract a unit fraction from any whole number including 1, eg

 

 

 

 

 

  • solve word problems that involve addition and subtraction of fractions with the same denominator, eg 'I eat of a block of chocolate and you eat of the same block. How much of the block of chocolate has been eaten?'

  * use estimation to verify that an answer is reasonable (Problem Solving, Reasoning)

 

Recognise that the place value system can be extended beyond hundredths (ACMNA104)

 

  • express thousandths as decimals

 

  • interpret decimal notation for thousandths, eg

 

  • state the place value of digits in decimal numbers of up to three decimal places

 

Compare, order and represent decimals (ACMNA105)

Number Line Drop – Tenths

Order Decimals

Sequence Decimals (L2-3)

Guess the Decimal

 

  • compare and order decimal numbers of up to three decimal places, eg 0.5, 0.125, 0.25

 

  • interpret zero digit(s) at the end of a decimal, eg 0.170 has the same value as 0.17

 

  • place decimal numbers of up to three decimal places on a number line between 0 and 1

  • compare and order unit fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 100

  * compare the relative value of unit fractions by placing them on a number line between 0 and 1 (Communicating, Reasoning)

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

 

Investigate strategies to solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions with the same denominator (ACMNA103)

 

Fraction Addition Game

 

  • dentify and describe 'proper fractions' as fractions in which the numerator is less than the denominator

  • identify and describe 'improper fractions' as fractions in which the numerator is greater than the denominator

** NOTE - Covering many of the pointers below to achieve outcomes is dependent on the focus of instruction. As such many of the activities below can be used for a variety of purposes, or to cover a range of pointers. I have therefore grouped them rather than repeating them. Instead, where I have been able to find them, I have listed instructional links below pointers where they are specifically applicable.

 

Worksheets – whilst the site is designed to share interactive site links, I have included a few worksheet sites as their display could be used on Interactive White Boards or individual computers as practise activities without the need for printing - please see the Stage 3 Home Page.
