Why this why now
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.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Recognise a whole as composed of parts
- Use part-part-whole models
- Apply knowledge of fractions or numbers in context
