A mixed number is a whole number and a fraction combined into one "mixed" number. For example: one and a half is a mixed number.

An interval is the space between two values or points.

Maths

Quantities that are made up of both whole numbers and a fractional part

Explain how a mixed number is composed

Compose and decompose mixed numbers

Solve problems involving mixed numbers

In this unit pupils will compose and decompose quantities made of whole numbers and fractional parts. In the future unit pupils will will estimate the position of numbers on a number line using fraction sense. They will compare and order mixed numbers using fraction sense when the whole number and the numerator of the fractional part is the same.

In the prior unit pupils identified equal parts when they did not look the same related to equivalence. They constructed a whole when given a part and the number of parts. In this unit pupils will compose and decompose quantities made of whole numbers and fractional parts.
