Developing Proportional thinking
Fewer than half the adult population can be viewed as proportional thinkers
And unfortunately…. We do not acquire the habits and skills of proportional reasoning simply by getting older.
What is proportional thinking?

4. Division is the most common context for fractions when units of one are not accurate enough for measuring and sharing problems.
Initially this is done by halving and halving again.
e.g. 3 ÷ 5

Stage 7 Decimals and Percentages
Decimals are special cases of equivalent fractions where the denominator is always a
power of ten.
![Page 23: To be a proportional thinker you need to be able to think multiplicatively](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051216/568150af550346895dbeccc2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Stage 7 (AM) Level 4 Key IdeasFractions
• Rename improper fractions as mixed numbers, e.g. 17/3 = 52/3
• Find equivalent fractions using multiplicative thinking,, e.g. 2/6 = how many twelfths?
• Order fractions using equivalence and benchmarks like 1 half , e.g. 2/5 < 11/16
• Add and subtract related fractions, e.g. 2/4 + 5/8
• Find fractions of whole numbers using mult’n and div’n e.g.2/3 of 36 and 2/3 of ? = 24
• Multiply fractions by other factions e.g.2/3 x ¼
• Solve measurement problems with related fractions, e.g. 1½ ÷ 1/6 = 9/6 ÷ 1/6 =9
Decimals• Order decimals to 3dp• Round whole numbers and decimals to the nearest whole or tenth
• Solve division problems expressing remainders as decimals, e.g. 8 ÷ 3 = 22/3 or 2.66
• Convert common fractions, i.e. halves, quarters etc. to decimals and percentages• Add and subtract decimals, e.g. 3.6 + 2.89 Percentages• Estimate and solve percentage type problems like ‘What % is 35 out of 60?’, and ‘What is 46% of 90?’ using benchmark amounts like 10%
& 5%
Ratios and Rates
• Find equivalent ratios using multiplication and express them as equivalent fractions, e.g. 16:8 as 8:4 as 4:2 as 2:1 = 2/3
• Begin to compare ratios by finding equivalent fractions, building equivalent ratios or mapping onto 1).
• Solve simple rate problems using multiplication, e.g. Picking 7 boxes of apples in ½ hour is equivalent to 21 boxes in 1½ hours.

How do these children view decimals?
1. Bernie says that 0.657 is bigger than 0.7
2. Sam thinks that 0.27 is bigger than 0.395
3. James thinks that 0 is bigger than 0.5
4. Adey thinks that 0.2 is bigger than 0.4
5. Claire thinks that 10 x 4.5 is 4.50

Developing understanding of decimal tenths and hundredths
place value
The CANON law in our place value system is that
1 unit must be split into TEN of the next smallest unit AND NO OTHER!

Developing Decimal Place Value Understanding
1. Use decipipes, candy bars, or decimats to
understand how tenths and hundredths
arise and what decimal numbers ‘look like’
2. Make and compare decimal numbers, e.g.
Which is bigger? 0.6 and 0.47
3. How much more make.. e.g. 0.47 + ? = 0.6
![Page 27: To be a proportional thinker you need to be able to think multiplicatively](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051216/568150af550346895dbeccc2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Misconceptions with Decimal Place Value:
How do these children view decimals?
1. Bernie says that 0.657 is bigger than 0.7
(decimals are 2 separate whole number systems separated by a decimal point, so 657 is bigger than 7)
2. Sam thinks that 0.27 is bigger than 0.395
(the more decimal places, the tinier the number becomes because thousandths are really small)
3. James thinks that 0 is bigger than 0.5
(decimals are negative numbers)
4. Adey thinks that 0.2 is bigger than 0.4 (direct link to fraction numbers , i.e. ½ = 0.2, ¼ = 0.4)
5. Claire thinks that 10 x 4.5 is 4.50 (when you multiply by 10, just add a zero)
