Lesson Details
Key learning points
- The whole can be a set of objects.
- Calculating the value of a part, is the same as dividing the whole by the number of equal parts.
- The denominator tells us the number of equal parts in the whole.
- Drawing a bar model supports us to visualise the problem.
- Times table and division facts help us to find a fraction of a set of objects.
Common misconception
Children may struggle to make the connection between division and finding a fraction of a quantity.
Support children to see that the denominator of a unit fraction tells us how many equal parts the whole has been divided into and that that is the same as the divisor.
