Construct a whole when given a part and the number of parts

Maths

Identify a whole and the parts that make it up

Explain why a part can only be defined in relation to a whole

Identify the number of equal or unequal parts in a whole

Identify equal parts when they do not look the same

Explain the size of a part in relation to the whole

Identify how many equal parts a whole has been divided into

Use fraction notation to describe an equal part of the whole

Represent unit fractions in different ways

Solve problems involving identifying equal parts and the whole

In this unit pupils will represent unit fractions in different ways, identifying the whole, the number of equal parts and the size of each part as a unit fraction including tenths. In the future unit pupils will identify parts and wholes in different contexts.

In the prior unit pupils identified whether something had or had not been split into equal parts. They named fractions one-half one-quarter and one-third in relation to a fraction of a length, shape or set of objects. In this unit pupils will represent unit fractions in different ways, identifying the whole, the number of equal parts and the size of each part as a unit fraction, including tenths.
