Constructing a whole

Maths

Use knowledge of the relationship between parts and wholes to solve problems

Use parts and wholes to find a unit fraction of a set of objects

Calculate the value of parts and wholes using understanding of division

Connect division with finding a fraction of a quantity to find parts and wholes

In this unit pupils will quantify the number of items in each part and connect to the unit fraction operator They will calculate the value of a part by connecting knowledge of division and division facts with finding a fraction of a quantity In the future unit pupils will explain that non-unit fractions are composed of more than one unit fraction using knowledge of unit fractions to find one whole

In the prior unit pupils compared and ordered unit fractions by looking at the denominator. In this unit pupils will quantify the number of items in each part and connect to the unit fraction operator. They will calculate the value of a part by connecting knowledge of division and division facts with finding a fraction of a quantity.

In this unit pupils will quantify the number of items in each part and connect to the unit fraction operator. They will calculate the value of a part by connecting knowledge of division and division facts with finding a fraction of a quantity.

Calculate the value of a part (fractions as operators)

Times as much is a phrase that is used to compare and describe objects.

A set is a collection of things (objects or numbers).

A unit fraction is any fraction where the numerator is one.

When we divide, we split something into equal parts or groups. We use the ÷ symbol to mean divide.
