By the end of this unit, students will be able to:
- understand the concept of fractions in tenths as one of ten equal parts of a whole;
- represent fractions in tenths visually using drawings and models;
- compare and order fractions in tenths using their numerical values;
- apply the concept of fractions in tenths to solve real-life and mathematical problems.
Curriculum Alignment: Year 3 Number: Fractions
- Count up and down in tenths; recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and in dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by 10.
- Recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators.
- Recognise and use fractions as numbers: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators.
