Description

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.

Pupils will have learned about fractions before and this unit revisits the idea of fractions as part of a whole and the notation of unit fractions. They will identify the whole and consider the number of equal parts, how this gives the name of the fraction and links to the way the fraction is recorded using fraction notation. Pupils also construct a whole once then know a part and the number of parts. This prepares them for identifying and comparing fractions in different contexts.

  1. Identify a whole and the parts that make it up
  2. Explain why a part can only be defined in relation to a whole
  3. Identify the number of equal or unequal parts in a whole
  4. Identify equal parts when they do not look the same
  5. Explain the size of a part in relation to the whole
  6. Construct a whole when given a part and the number of parts
  7. Identify how many equal parts a whole has been divided into
  8. Use fraction notation to describe an equal part of the whole
  9. Represent unit fractions in different ways
  10. Solve problems involving identifying equal parts and the whole

  • Identify equal parts of a whole
  • Name common fractions (1/2, 1/3, 1/4)
  • Use visual models for fractions
