Mathematics – Multi-age – Year A – Unit 15
This two-week unit develops student knowledge, understanding and skills of rational numbers and fractions.
Mathematics K-2 Syllabus © 2022 NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) for and on behalf of the Crown in right of the State of New South Wales.
Students are provided opportunities to:
- explore that a fraction, such as one half, can mean half of a collection, half of an object or half of a measure
- understand that a fraction is a number
- investigate that when a whole is cut or partitioned into equal parts, the number of parts increases but the size of each part is smaller (decreases)
- develop an understanding that a fraction which describes two equal partitions of a whole, and four equal partitions of a whole, have a name, half and quarter
- demonstrate that there is more than one way to create a half of a collection, an object, or a measure
- recognise that not all partitions of a whole will result in equal shares, but instead have leftovers or a remainder which sometimes can be partitioned further
- apply knowledge of equal partitioning to solve problems with remainders.
