  • Number: Fractions

In this unit, pupils link multiplying fractions by whole numbers with finding a fraction of a quantity. They explore this using representations and explain this link focusing on the use of the word ‘of’ to represent multiplication. Pupils use mental and written strategies to calculation non-unit fractions of quantities and consider how to calculate the whole when a part, either a unit or non-unit fraction is known.

  1. Find a unit fraction of a quantity using representations
  2. Explain how finding a fraction of a quantity relates to multiplying by a unit fraction
  3. Explain how dividing by a whole number relates to multiplying by a unit fraction
  4. Use knowledge of multiplying a whole number by a unit fraction to solve problems
  5. Find a non-unit fraction of a quantity using mental and written calculation strategies
  6. Multiply a whole number by a proper fraction
  7. Explain when a calculation represents scaling down and when it represents repeated addition
  8. Find the whole when the size of a unit fraction is known
  9. Find a unit fraction when the size of a non-unit fraction is known
  10. Find the whole when the size of a non-unit fraction is known
