  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Decimal equivalents of tenths and hundredths

    Recognise and write decimal equivalents of any number of tenths or hundredths (e.g. 3/10 = 0.3, 27/100 = 0.27)

    Ages 8 to 9Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Tenths (age 8+)

    Count up and down in hundredths; recognise that hundredths arise when dividing an object by 100 or dividing tenths by 10

  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Fraction-Decimal Equivalents

    Recognise and write decimal equivalents of 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4

    Ages 8 to 9Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Fractions of a whole (age 8+)

    Express whole numbers as fractions (e.g. 3 = 3/1) and recognise fractions equivalent to whole numbers (e.g. 4/4 = 1, 6/1 = 6)

    Ages 8 to 9Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Fractions as parts of shapes

    Partition shapes into parts with equal areas and express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole

    Ages 8 to 9Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Equivalent fractions (age 9+)

    Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to (n×a)/(n×b) using visual models; use this principle to recognise and generate equivalent fractions, including tenths…

    Ages 9 to 10Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Tenths (age 9+)

    Recognise and use thousandths; relate them to tenths, hundredths, and their decimal equivalents (e.g. 1/1000 = 0.001, 35/1000 = 0.035)

    Ages 9 to 10Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Understanding fractions (age 9+)

    Understand a fraction a/b with a > 1 as a sum of fractions 1/b (e.g. 3/5 = 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5)

    Ages 9 to 10Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Understanding Percentages

    Understand the per cent symbol (%); know that per cent means ‘number of parts per hundred’; write percentages as a fraction with denominator 100 and as a…

    Ages 9 to 10Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Decimals and fractions (age 10+)

    Associate a fraction with division and calculate decimal fraction equivalents for simple fractions (e.g. 3/8 = 0.375); recall and use equivalences between…

    Ages 10 to 11Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Fractions of a whole (age 10+)

    Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator (a/b = a ÷ b); solve word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to…

    Ages 10 to 11Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Dividing fractions (unit fractions)

    Interpret and compute division of a unit fraction by a non-zero whole number (e.g. 1/3 ÷ 4 = 1/12); use visual models and the relationship between…

    Ages 10 to 11Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Multiplication as scaling

    Interpret multiplication as scaling (resizing): compare the size of a product to a factor based on the size of the other factor without computing; explain the…

    Ages 10 to 11Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Dividing by Fractions

    Interpret and compute division of a whole number by a unit fraction (e.g. 4 ÷ 1/5 = 20); use visual models and the relationship between multiplication and…
