I can identify parts and wholes in different contexts.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- The whole has been divided into __ equal parts.
- Each equal part is one-__ of the whole.
- Fractions can be represented as part of a shape or a set.
Common misconception
Children will often think that the total number within a set is always the denominator as shown in the plates and cupcakes example on the slides.
Put a set of 12 counters (or any countable objects) onto a mini-whiteboard. Children should practise dividing the set into equal groups, drawing rings around them. Repeat, 'The set has been divided into _ equal groups so the denominator is _'.
Keywords
