A mixed number is a whole number and a fraction combined.

An integer is a number that has no fractional part - they are whole numbers. This includes the counting numbers e.g, 1, 2, 3 and zero.

Maths

Estimate the position of a number on a number line using fraction sense

Compare and order mixed numbers using fraction sense

Compare mixed numbers when the numerators of fractional parts are different

Compare mixed numbers when the denominators of fractional parts are different

In this unit pupils 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 future unit pupils will make efficient choices about the order they solve an addition and subtraction problem involving mixed numbers.

In the prior unit pupils composed and decomposed quantities made of whole numbers and fractional parts. In this unit pupils 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.

Compare and order mixed numbers and position on a number line

Look at the number line. Which number is greater than one but close to one?

Look at the number line and complete this sentence: Each interval between the integers on the line is divided into four equal parts. This allows us to count in __________.

Look at the numberline. Where would $$1{{5} \over {6}}$$ be positioned?

Look at this number line. Match the letter to the number that it is representing.

Look at this number $$3 {{2} \over {4}}$$ We say it as three and two {{ }}. 

Look at the part-part-whole model. What is the missing part?

Look at the part-part-whole model. $$4 {{3} \over {5}}$$ is composed of four wholes and three-{{ }}

Look at this number line. The missing number is {{ }}
