Learning outcomes
| # | Title |
|---|---|
| 1 | Pupils identify a whole and the parts that make it up |
| 2 | Pupils explain why a part can only be defined when in relation to a whole |
| 3 | Pupils identify the number of equal or unequal parts in a whole |
| 4 | Pupils identify equal parts when they do not look the same (i) |
| 5 | Pupils explain the size of the part in relation to the whole |
| 6 | Pupils construct a whole when given a part and the number of parts |
| 7 | Pupils identify how many equal parts a whole has been divided into |
| 8 | Pupils use fraction notation to describe an equal part of the whole |
| 9 | Pupils represent a unit fractions in different ways |
| 10 | Pupils identify parts and wholes in different contexts (i) |
| 11 | Pupils identify parts and wholes in different contexts (ii) |
| 12 | Pupils identify equal parts when they do not look the same (ii) |
| 13 | Pupils compare and order unit fractions by looking at the denominator |
| 14 | Pupils identify when unit fractions cannot be compared |
| 15 | Pupils construct a whole when given one part and the fraction that it represents |
| 16 | Pupils use knowledge of the relationship between parts and wholes in unit fractions to solve problems |
| 17 | Pupils identify the whole, the number of equal parts and the size of each part as a unit fraction |
| 18 | Pupils quantify the number of items in each part and connect to the unit fraction operator |
| 19 | Pupils calculate the value of a part by using knowledge of division and division facts |
| 20 | Pupils calculate the value of a part by connecting knowledge of division and division facts with finding a fraction of a quantity |
| 21 | Pupils find fractions of quantities using knowledge of division facts with increasing fluency |
