Identify equal parts in a whole when they do not look the same in 2D shapes

Maths

In this unit pupils will identify parts and wholes in different contexts. In the future unit pupils will compare and order unit fractions by looking at the denominator.

In the prior unit pupils represented unit fractions in different ways, identifying the whole, the number of equal parts and the size of each part as a unit fraction, including tenths. In this unit pupils will identify parts and wholes in different contexts.

Identify parts and wholes in different contexts

Equal parts can be differently shaped. True or false?

We can’t tell because they’re different shapes.

A piece of paper is folded in half and placed on top of another identically sized piece. What fraction of the whole is the paper on top showing?

Look at the image. What fraction of the whole is the shaded part?

The skipping ropes are all the same length. What part of the whole is one of the ropes?

What fraction of the whole is the shaded part?

Which two parts in the image show differently shaped equally sized parts? Select the letters that match the parts.

What is the name of the indicated part of the fraction?

How many parts has the whole been divided into if the fraction notation is $$ \frac{1}{5} $$?

Complete the sentence: The whole has been divided into 3 equal parts and 1 is shaded. This is one-{{ }}

Tick the correct fraction notation that shows one-sixth.

Tick the correct fraction notation that shows one-quarter.

Match the fraction name to the fraction notation.
