National Curriculum Objectives
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.
