Lesson 1

LO- I can compare unit fractions and fractions with the same denominator.

Can you explain why?

Have a go at the quiz by clicking the picture above. This is to recap what you can remember about fractions.

• What do the different ‘star words’ mean?

• In a fraction which number is the denominator?

Explain to someone in your house.

Can you explain your answer to someone in your house?

I know that this shows that the whole has been split equally into 4 and that 1 part has been shaded. So the fraction that is shown is ¼.

• What fraction of the strip is shaded?

• What fraction of the strip is not shaded?

• Why is it important that the strips are the same length and are lined up underneath each other?

• Can you think of a unit fraction that is smaller than 1/10? Can you think of a unit fraction that is larger than 1/3?
