Mathematics K–10 (2022) · Stage 2 · View this focus area on the NESA NSW Curriculum website ↗
Outcomes
MA2-PF-01 represents and compares halves, quarters, thirds and fifths as lengths on a number line and their related fractions formed by halving (eighths, sixths and tenths)Content dot points
Each dot point has its own page with resources matched to it.
Model equivalent fractions as lengths
- Represent the equivalence of fractions with related denominators as lengths, using concrete materials, diagrams and number lines
- Recognise the need to have equal wholes to compare partitioned fractions (Reasoning about relations)
- Represent fractions with the same-size whole to make valid comparisons (denominators of 2, 4 and 8; 3 and 6; 5 and 10)
Represent fractional quantities equal to and greater than one
- Rename 2 halves, 3 thirds, 4 quarters, 5 fifths, 6 sixths, 8 eighths and 10 tenths as one whole
- Regroup fractional parts beyond one
- Represent totals of halves, thirds, quarters and fifths that extend beyond one
- Determine the relative location of one-quarter and one-half when a number line extends beyond one
