Fractions

How fractions build up

Year 1 finds halves and quarters. Year 2 adds thirds and non-unit fractions such as 3/4. Year 3 counts in tenths and adds fractions with the same denominator. Year 4 explores equivalence and hundredths, and Years 5 and 6 compare, add and subtract fractions with different denominators.

Finding a fraction of an amount connects directly to division: to find 3/5 of 40, divide by 5 and multiply by 3.

Fractions

Simplified answers

Answer sheets give fractions in their simplest form. If a child writes 4/8 instead of 1/2, the answer is correct — it is a good moment to talk about equivalence.
