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

• recognising that unit fractions represent equal parts of a whole; for example, one-third is one of 3 equal parts of a whole
• 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
• 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
• 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
