    In this lesson, we will build and compare different wholes from different unit fractions that have the same length. We will use mathematical vocabulary to make statements of comparison.

    In this lesson, we build and compare different wholes from the same unit fractions that represent different lengths.

    In this lesson, we will build and compare different wholes from different unit fractions that represent the same quantity.
    1 Video
    In this lesson, we will build and compare different wholes from different unit fractions that represent different quantites.
    1 Video
    In this lesson, we will represent non-unit fractions in given wholes. We will shade shapes to represent different non-unit fractions, and create mathematical statements about each shape.
    1 Video
    In this lesson, we will represent different non-unit fractions in the same given whole. We will compare the relative size of each non-unit fraction.
    1 Video
    In this lesson, we willl reason about non-fraction units in different contexts. We will determine whether statements about how much of a shape or set is shaded are true.
    1 Video
    In this lesson, we will generalise about fractions equivalent to one whole. We will make statements that compare the numerator and denominator of fractions equivalent to one whole.
    1 Video
    In this lesson, we will visualise and estimate non-unit fractions using a variety of visual representations.
    1 Video
    In this lesson, we will represent fractions as numbers on a numberline. We determine where on a number line a unit fraction might sit, and compare fractional representations in different formats.
    1 Video
    In this lesson, we will represent fractions as numbers on a numberline. We look at fractions with a numerator greater than 1, and where they would sit on a suitable numberline. We also look at how to construct a suitable segmented numberline based upon the fraction we are looking at.

    In this lesson, we will build fluency of counting fractions using a range of representations. We will practise determining how many equal segments a shape is divided into, and how many are shaded.
    1 Video
    In this lesson, we will begin to write repeated addition equations to represent non-unit fractions. We will use addition to determine how many equal segments of a shape are shaded.
    1 Video
    In this lesson, we will practise writing repeated addition equations of unit fractions. We will use fraction strips and bar model diagrams to help us determine the size of fractions.
    1 Video
    In this lesson, we will investigate which non-unit fractions have the same unit value as 1 whole. We will generalise a pattern around how we can tell whether a non-unit fraction is equal to a whole.
    1 Video
    In this lesson, we will compare non-unit fractions which have the same numerator or the same denominator.
    1 Video
    In this lesson, we will compare two fractions using knowledge of equivalence to 1 whole.
    1 Video
    In this lesson, we will use a variety of methods to compare two fractions with the same denominator. We will use mathematical vocabulary such as greater than and less than.
    1 Video
    In this lesson, we will investigate how we can compare the relative sizes of two fractions with the same denominator using visual representations such as bar models.
    1 Video
    In this lesson, we will order several non-unit fractions with the same denominator and apply this understanding to worded fraction problems.
