Description

In this unit pupils will identify whether something has or has not been split into equal parts. They will name fractions one-half one-quarter and one-third in relation to a fraction of a length shape or set of objects.

This unit develops understanding of parts and wholes, describing equal parts as fractions of a whole. Pupils then apply this to finding half of a number, relating doubling and halving to fractions. This unit prepares pupils with the language and representations for more detailed work on fractions later.
