VC2M2M02

Identify common uses and represent halves, quarters and eighths in relation to shapes, objects and events <ul> <li>demonstrating how food items can be cut in halves, quarters or eighths; for example, cutting pizzas, slices, cakes or sandwiches into equal parts by halving, then halving again to form quarters and eighths, ensuring that the parts are equal</li> <li>investigating cup and spoon measures used in cooking and discussing what half or quarter of a cup or tablespoon measure means, and using sand or water to compare these to the full cup and tablespoon measures</li> <li>demonstrating and using halves and quarters in folding activities; for example, folding paper in half and quarters and ensuring that the pieces are the same size</li> <li>recognising that halves and quarters can be used to describe lengths, positions and distances; for example, describing the halfway point in a race or instructing someone to stand halfway between 2 chairs</li> <li>discussing that halves and quarters are used to describe durations of time, including durations of time in sporting events, and what this means; for example, discussing how the sirens used during an Australian Rules football game represent quarter time, half-time and three-quarter time during the game, or recognising and using half an hour or quarter of an hour to describe a duration of time</li> </ul>

VC2M3N03

Recognise and represent unit fractions including 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, and 1/10 and their multiples in different ways; combine fractions with the same denominator to complete the whole <ul> <li>recognising that unit fractions represent equal parts of a whole; for example, one-third is one of 3 equal parts of a whole</li> <li>representing unit fractions and their multiples in different ways; for example, using a Think Board to represent three-quarters using a diagram, concrete materials, a situation and fraction notation</li> <li>cutting objects such as oranges, sandwiches or playdough into halves, quarters or fifths and reassembling them to demonstrate (for example, two-halves make a whole, four-quarters make a whole), counting the fractions as they go</li> <li>sharing collections of objects, such as icy pole sticks or counters, between 3, 4 and 5 people and connecting division with fractions; for example, sharing equally between 3 people gives 1/3 of the collection to each and sharing equally between 5 people gives 1/5 of the collection to each</li> </ul>
