Why this why now
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.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Identify equal parts of a whole
- Name common fractions (1/2, 1/3, 1/4)
- Use visual models for fractions
