Lesson Details
Key learning points
- A non-unit fraction labels more than one out of the number of equal parts in the whole.
- A fraction is made from equal parts of the whole.
- Parts can be different shapes and still be the same size.
- When counting different objects that make a whole, the objects can be of unequal size.
Common misconception
Pupils may find the concept of different shapes (and sizes, for number of objects) a little confusing.
Show pupils images where parts are different shapes (area fractions - parts of a whole shape) but can easily be seen to be the same size.
Keywords
Equal - Equal means exactly the same amount or value.
Unequal - Unequal means not exactly the same amount or value.
