Why this why now

This unit allows pupils to apply their understanding of unit fractions as one part of a number of equal parts in a whole in unfamiliar contexts including when the equal parts do not look the same. They will explore parts of wholes of 3-D shapes and linear contexts. Fractions of a line prepares pupils for the concept of fractions as numbers with a position on a number line rather than just as parts of a whole.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Recognise a whole as composed of parts
  • Use part-part-whole models
  • Apply knowledge of fractions or numbers in context
