Lesson Details
Key learning points
- When the numerator and denominator have the same value, the fraction is equal to one whole.
- If the numerator is less than the denominator, the fraction is less than one whole.
- Fractions that have numerators and denominators with the same values are also equal to each other.
Common misconception
Pupils may think that fractions with a higher value numerator are larger in size.
Show pupils images where fractions with the same numerators and denominators are equal in size (e.g. nine-ninths is equal to three-thirds).
