I can divide 1 into different numbers of equal parts.
Equal parts - When we divide, we split an object, number or quantity into equal parts.
Divide - Each equal part has the same value as the others in the whole.
Equivalent - Numbers are equivalent if they have exactly the same value.
Thinking that the fraction and decimal use the same digits so that one fifth is 1.5 as a decimal. Some may not see that equivalent fractions and decimals represent the same value.
Use representations that allow pupils to see fractions as parts of 10 and 100 to secure the understanding of their equivalent decimal values. Revisit equivalent fractions to model how to convert fractions to their decimal equivalents and vice versa.
