Content
Stage 2
- MAO-WM-01
develops understanding and fluency in mathematics through exploring and connecting mathematical concepts, choosing and applying mathematical techniques to solve problems, and communicating their thinking and reasoning coherently and clearly
- 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)
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)
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
