Use parts and wholes to find a unit fraction of a set of objects

Maths

In this unit pupils will quantify the number of items in each part and connect to the unit fraction operator They will calculate the value of a part by connecting knowledge of division and division facts with finding a fraction of a quantity In the future unit pupils will explain that non-unit fractions are composed of more than one unit fraction using knowledge of unit fractions to find one whole

In the prior unit pupils compared and ordered unit fractions by looking at the denominator .In this unit pupils will quantify the number of items in each part and connect to the unit fraction operator. They will calculate the value of a part by connecting knowledge of division and division facts with finding a fraction of a quantity.
