Interpreting fractions description
This sub-element emphasises the development of the fraction concept and the size of fractions rather than the development of procedures or algorithmic skills. Understanding the size of a fraction is an indicator of the depth of a student’s understanding …

Equivalence of fractions identifies the need to have equal wholes to compare fractional parts (explains why one-third as a number is larger than one-quarter) creates fractions larger than 1 by recreating the whole (when creating four-thirds, recognises …

Repeating fractional parts accumulates fractional parts of a length (knows that two-quarters is inclusive of one-quarter and twice one-quarter, not just the second quarter) checks the equality of parts by iterating one part to form the whole (when …

Using fractions uses knowledge of equivalence to compare fractions (when comparing two-thirds and three-quarters, subdivides the whole into twelfths) justifies the need for the same denominators to add or subtract fractions uses strategies to find …
