Elaborations
- • Elaboration recognising that unit fractions represent equal parts of a whole; for example, one-third is one of 3 equal parts of a whole
- • Elaboration representing unit fractions and their multiples in different ways; for example, using a Think Board to represent three-quarters using a diagram, concrete materials, a situation and fraction notation
- • Elaboration cutting objects such as oranges, sandwiches or playdough into halves, quarters or fifths and reassembling them to demonstrate; for example, two-halves make a whole, four-quarters make a whole, counting the fractions as they go
- • Elaboration sharing collections of objects, such as pop sticks or counters, between 3, 4 and 5 people and connecting division with fractions; for example, sharing between 3 people gives 1/3 of the collection to each and sharing between 5 people gives 1/5 of the collection to each
