I can explain the relationship between repeated addition of unit fractions and multiplication of fractions.
Repeated addition - Repeated addition is the process of adding the same equal group to itself multiple times.
Unit fraction - A unit fraction is a fraction where the numerator is 1
Represent - To represent something is to show it in a different way.
Pupils consider the whole number to represent an area as well as the fraction.
Take time to discuss what each of the numbers in the expressions represent and link this to the context it is set in.
