Fractions

An understanding of fractions, both as numbers in their own right, and as parts of a whole, is essential for a pupil to progress through Key Stage 2 and on towards secondary school maths. This page contains links to twelve ‘question documents,’ each helping teachers to assess their confidence in a specific aspect of this area of maths.

All question documents for this area will be shortly available as a single zip file download after the individual questions.

Question 1

How confident are you that you understand and can support children to identify a whole and a part in different contexts?

Question 2

How confident are you that you understand and can support children to recognise that a whole can be divided into equal and unequal parts and these parts may not look the same?

Question 3

How confident are you that you understand and can support children to iterate a whole from a given part?

Question 4

How confident are you that you understand and can support children to recognise that a whole can be divided into any number of equal parts and that we use fraction notation to describe this?

Question 5

How confident are you that you understand and can support children to recognise the importance of the denominator in comparing and ordering fractions?

Question 6

How confident are you that you understand and can support children to recognise that non-unit fractions are multiples of unit fractions?

Question 7

How confident are you that you understand and can support children to understand that a fraction can be a number in its own right?

Question 8

Question 9

How confident are you that you understand and can support children to work with fractions that are greater than one whole?

Question 10

Question 11

How confident are you that you understand and can support children to recognise that equivalent fractions share the same proportional (multiplicative) relationship between the numerator and denominator?
