Solve problems by identifying parts and wholes in a range of contexts

I can solve problems by identifying parts and wholes in a range of contexts.

Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. The whole has been divided into __ equal parts.
  2. Each equal part is one-__ of the whole.
  3. You can represent fractions with an image, symbol and name.
  4. Equal parts may not look the same.

Common misconception

Pupils struggle to visualise when considering 3D parts and wholes and cannot identify a given fractional part of a 3D whole, particularly when presented on a screen as a picture.

Provide opportunities for pupils to experience fractional parts of 3D shapes in real life situations e.g. base 10 blocks or using cuboids such as small cereal variety boxes or photocopying paper boxes. Physical manipulation can support visualisation.

Keywords

  • Whole - The whole is all the parts or everything, the total amount.

  • Part - A part is some of the whole.

  • Equal - Have the same quantity or value.

  • Unequal - Do not have the same quantity or value.
